This course includes many great resources and ideas for integrating nature journaling into any classroom. You will spend time outside to create your own nature journal entries as well as lesson plans that incorporate nature journaling.

This was a fun and engaging class! I wanted to experience something different and I am so glad that I did. There are so many ways to incorporate nature journaling into your classroom that can support other content areas. Tory was patient, helpful and gave valuable feedback.
Christy Borfitz
I loved taking this class and I especially enjoyed nature journaling. I only had enough time to try nature journaling with my 2nd grade class once because the school year ended but my students loved it and wanted to keep journaling over the summer.
