This was a great course! It gave me a reason and opportunity to slow down, spend time outside, and draw and write and also allowed me to create specific lessons and activities that will help me get students outside thinking about their own connection to the natural world.

Whether you already spend too much time outside or not enough, this is a great course. Nature journaling opened my eyes (and ears) to things I hadn't noticed before and I'll be able to link nature with my students even more after taking the course. It was a lot of fun!

Great way to get outside and take care of yourself, while simultaneously gathering great lessons and resources for your students!
