Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 3
Beginner Level
About this self-paced class:  Children can make their own nature journals using recycled papers, and other papers on hand.  They can choose to create little pockets inside their journals to collect natural items and use the enclosed pages to draw their thoughts, feelings and observations.  I will provide suggests as to how one might want to add technology into this activity to participate in STEM or STEAM concepts!  But for now, simple materials needed:   scissors, hole-puncher, glue-stick, ribbons, tape and crayons/markers as well as a used paper grocery bag and other papers you might have to use.  Please reference the suggested material list for extra guidance to be prepared for this class. This is a wonderful way to encourage explorations in nature, to facilitate curiosity about their natural world and to build upon literacy skills.

Learning Goals

Learners will exercise their creativity while designing their journals.
Learners will engage with subject areas pertaining to STEM/STEAM(science-technology-engineering-art-math)
