 Hey everybody, welcome to The Waldoch Way. I'm Jessica. In today's video, it's going to be a look inside the Julia Rothman Companion notebooks. I don't know about you guys, but I feel like owning these books is almost like a homeschool ride of passage. Like, we all own them and they're sitting on all of our shelves because you're not really a homeschool mom if you don't own them, right? But here's the problem that I have with these. They're gorgeous and I love all of them. I love the nature, I love the farm, I love the food, I love the ocean, and I love getting them out. But I just don't get them out as much as I would like because I don't know what to do with them. And they're gorgeous and when I do find the time or the way to incorporate them into our lessons, I'm always like just in awe of how beautiful they are, but I just don't know what to do with them. And so I have a solution because I finally found companion notebooks for all four of them, for the nature, for the food, for the farm, and for the ocean. And the companion notebooks basically take each of the books from start to finish and turn it into a notebook for your kids. So what gives them an activity to do to notebook their way through each of these books. And that makes me so excited because I told you guys recently about how we do a nature in our homeschool and we love getting outdoors but it's a little more difficult to do that in the summer. So I cannot wait to incorporate those notebooks or the companions to these into our homeschool for this summer when we can't get outside, we will still be able to do nature by working our way through all of the gorgeous Julia Rothman books and I can finally get them off my shelves. I'm gonna turn you guys around and show you inside some of the notebooks so maybe you can get yours off the shelf and brush the dust off. Follow along with the topics in the Julia Rothman collection using written narration, drawing, labeling, and more with these companion notebook journals. There is no prep work involved. You simply grab the copy of the book and your notebook journal and work at your own pace. One of my favorite features of each of the notebooks is that they all feature tons of extra printables that relate to the topics at hand. So at the very beginning, you get general ones and then at each chapter, you get ones that are associated to what you're learning about in that chapter. As you can see here, the notebooks follow along the Julia Rothman Anatomy books perfectly. Something really awesome is that right now, if you buy the bundle of all of the Julia Rothman companion notebooks, the nature, the farm, the ocean, and the food, you get a fifth bonus free notebook and that is the birding notebook which is a companion to the Audubon birding adventures for kids. Using the birding notebook alongside the Audubon birding adventures for kids, you will learn about 25 birds as well as their habitats, beaks, feathers, and more. You can document your birding activities in your notebook and portfolio and use the journal pages for bird walks.
