Hello Weekend Warriors! Are you ready to discover something amazing just outside your front door this weekend? It doesn't matter where you live- there is always something new to learn! Come join me on Thursday mornings as we share and discuss the important natural changes that are happening each month. Every lesson includes a show-and-tell portion, a mini-lesson, and a few minutes of classical music and nature journaling. At the end of class, each child will be tasked with a supply-free weekend challenge to complete on their own time or with their family. Class Structure I. Hello's and nature find shares II.

In the event of a technical difficulty, which is rare but should be planned for, I will make the best effort to schedule a make-up class for everybody. If you cannot make the make-up class, you will get a prorated refund. All other refunds fall under Outschool's general policies. I love responding to messages and comments in the classroom. I will be posting a lot in our community. If you need to reach me, I get back to all weekday comments (Monday through Friday) within 24 hours. I will respond to weekend messages (Saturday and Sunday), early on Monday morning.
Other Details
Supply List
Weekend Warriors will need: 1. One notebook that can serve as a nature journal for class and outdoor activities. I suggest finding a notebook with sturdy paper and blank pages that is easy to transport or carry outdoors. 2. A pencil with a good eraser 3. A set of colored pencils. Additional supplies your student might enjoy but are not necessary for class: - Binoculars - Outdoor watercolor set - Jars for collection (recycled cans work great) - A special backpack that can hold supplies and a snack
1 file available upon enrollment
Language of Instruction
English
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
Additional sources will be posted in the classroom as necessary. If you would like to extend the lessons, "The Nature Connection" by Clare Walker Leslie is an excellent companion to this class. However, it is not a necessary purchase to participate in this class.
