Junior Nature Explorer: (Flex) Outdoor School Autumn

Is your student an avid nature explorer? Or would they like to become one? Do they want to become adventurous in the great outdoors? Do you want an alternative way for your student to learn?

In this four week flexible schedule course of the Junior Nature Explorers series, students will be given different nature challenges in the areas of science, math, and reading (challenges will rotate between subjects during the weeks) while learning about the natural world around. Activities will be introduced through teacher-created videos. It doesn't matter if you live in a city or in a rural community, outdoor learning is anywhere and everywhere!  In addition to the challenges in the different areas, students will also receive two pages a week to create their very own "Hungry Squirrel" book which students will present in the classroom by uploading pictures or a video. 

Why take learning outside? There is much research that supports take learning outside. Benefits include increased self-confidence, communication skills, problem-solving skills and so much more. 


*A note on how I teach a flexible schedule class:
-In a flexible schedule class, there are class video lessons, discussion questions and activities, posted on a schedule.  All material and interaction will be posted within the platform.
-Students can post videos, copies of their work and or photos and respond to each other.
-My goal is to respond within 24 hours to each student's post
-My FAQ on my approach is also in this video: (http://bit.ly/WhatisFlex).
