Schoolyard Adventures - Connecting Students to Their Environment - Pre-Recorded

Grade span | 2nd-6th

Workshop Description | Students often think that being in nature means you have to be at the ocean or in a forest. This session focuses on specific, yet simple, activities that get your students to explore nature in their schoolyards so they begin to understand the connection between themselves and the environment right outside their classrooms. Through drawings and poetry, students develop their observation and writing skills along with environmental science content. And here’s the bonus, getting your students actively engaged in nature supports children’s social-emotional health and well-being!
