This is a SELF-PACED class. There will be no live classes, which allows students the flexibility to go at their own pace. I will post videos along with learning activities to reinforce the math concepts. 

These are the math standards we will be learning and practicing. We will use a variety of objects found on our nature walks to practice these math concepts.
☀️ Lesson 1: Counting 
🌲 Lesson 2: Geometry
🦋 Lesson 3: Patterns
🐛 Lesson 4: Measurement and Data
🌸 Lesson 5: Addition and Subtraction

For each lesson, students are expected to go on a nature walk and collect different natural objects that will be used as our math manipulatives (examples include rocks, sticks, flowers, grass, leaves, etc). These nature walks can be done in all seasons and in all types of weather. Please dress appropriately for extreme weather. 

The videos will cover the math concepts as well as supplementary activities and music.

With each lesson I will provide a BINGO sheet with 24 activities that coincide with the week's math standard and ways to interact with nature. Students can choose the activities that interest them and meet their level. They can try to complete five activities in a row to earn a BINGO. Students will post pictures in the classroom of the various activities they complete. For students who complete enough activities to earn a BINGO, I will send them a personalized prize!

What is the benefit of learning through nature? Nature provides opportunities for discovery, creativity, and problem-solving. Children are able to learn by doing and expirementing. They also become more motivated and self-directed, and are more likely to care for the Earth. Studies show that spending time in nature can relieve stress and anxiety. It can also increase our attention capacity, creativity, and our ability to connect with other people. 

"Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books." --John Lubbock
