My Project

This summer I researched the benefits of children spending more time outside and have committed to getting out more with my students. We are incredibly fortunate to be a school nestled into a vast city park. Each year we find that more and more students struggle with behaviors that don't fit easily into the generic public school classroom. Instead of working to change students to fit a single classroom mold, why not change our classroom to best fit the students who populate it?

This year we get to extend our classroom beyond the walls of our school.

We can't do this without supplies! This project includes a nature pack for each child that has tools they can use to extend their observations and learning. It also includes books for the classroom to help create individual identities that relate to nature, and finally a book to support adult learning around the topic of nature education.

My goal is to get kids excited about going outside and finding joy and wonder in our very own backyard.
