Water Tigers in the Cottage Garden

June 9, 2006 @ 4:27 am | Filed under: Nature Study

The gentle lasses at Alice’s Cottage Garden know that Mother Nature can be as bloodthirsty as she is beautiful. Today they bring us an underwater predator called the Water Tiger, who proves that even a plastic cup can be fraught with danger—if you’re a tadpole. Complete with a video clip! And original poetry!

Lissa, you’re great! Thanks for the link!

It always cracks me up how completely undisturbed the “gentle lasses” are by creepy crawlies, no matter how hideous!

In 2006, a year after I began this blog, I coined the term Tidal Homeschooling to describe my family’s homeschooling style, an ebb and flow of
high tide (planned, Charlotte Mason-ish) and low tide (unschoolish, delight directed) learning. You’ll sometimes see me call it Tidal Learning. Seventeen years later (and counting), the metaphor still works. At the time of this writing (January 2023), I’m enjoying tidal homeschooling with Huck and Rilla, my two youngest, now in their teens.

If you’d like to read more about tidal homeschooling, there are a bunch of posts at this link.
