"Exploring Spring and Summer Nature" VIDEOCHAT
with Jessica Winston
Tuesday, May 7th, 3:00-4:00 PM (ET)
If we want children to care for the Earth, we need to foster their relationship with it first. Join Jessica Winston, Naturalist Educator, to learn share how outdoor discoveries can lead to more in-depth studies inside the classroom. Jessica will model how to explore the wonders of spring and summer outside with your class and illustrate how to bring those materials and experiences back in the classroom for deeper exploration. Let's cheer in the season with stream snow melts, salt water painting, nest building and more!
