Peace in Me in Nature

Help me give my students journals that we can use for place-based science lessons that will get them out into nature-even in their own backyards, and provide positive connections and calm during this time of remote learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mack's classroom raised $295

My Students

My students are curious, creative, enthusiastic movers and shakers interested in and excited to learn about the many wonders in the world around them. As one of a handful of alternative schools in our large urban district, our school is often sought out by families looking for a different learning approach for their students. Our students often "think outside the box" and don't often fit the typical "color within the lines" student profile.

They are active learners who are vocal and kinesthetic, kind and inquisitive; who like to talk, share and move in our warm school community; and who love to learn in a hands-on way by doing.

In our classroom, we work intentionally to be inclusive and welcoming of all community members and all the people we meet and integrate social-emotional learning along with our academic learning every day!

Our school uses a yearlong, project-based approach to learning called "expeditionary learning," which encompasses academically rigorous learning in a specific topic area in a hands-on, project-based, and integrated way. Students find this approach to learning highly engaging and enjoyable; they truly have a zest for learning and give their efforts 110%!

My Project

The students will use these nature journals to support place-based science lessons with my students in nature close to/at home. We are in 100% remote learning, and after almost a year of this pandemic, students need to get outside, breathe deep and connect with the world.

I hope that the peace of nature will provide positive companionship through lessons that bring students out to connect with nature and themselves.

Through returning to familiar "sit spots" close to home and documenting the changes in nature through the seasons, I know students will be engaged and delighted!
