無壓力自然雜誌俱樂部

Each week we will bring a natural item to class and work on a nature journal entry together.  We will practice the skill of observation using the prompts "I Notice, I Wonder, It Reminds Me Of" as made popular by the naturalist John Muir Laws.  Students will have the opportunity to share their entries and observations while we work.  The goal of this class is to share and journal nature findings in a casual club setting, without an over-emphasis on artistic skills, formal lessons, and messy supplies.  Each student's journal is their own and they are free to express themselves as they wish.

**Class Format**
Show and Tell - 5m - Students show the item, picture, or phenomenon that they brought, and share any initial observations.
Journal - 10m - Students work on their journal entry while chatting.  I will also share tips and ideas as we work.
Show and Tell - 5m - Student's show their finished entry or any progress they have made.

This class does not have a weekly schedule and will vary depending on the item, picture, or phenomenon that each student brings to share each week.  Tips shared will vary from week to week.
