Lessons in Nature

Are you able to plan a nature walk for your students? This recent study shows that “far from leaving students too keyed up to concentrate afterward, lessons in nature may actually leave students more able to engage in the next lesson, even as students are also learning the material at hand. Such ‘refueling in flight’ argues for including more lessons in nature in formal education.”Perhaps you will want to pair your outing with my photo picture books, which feature Stan Tekiela’s stunning photographs of wild animal babies: Jump, Little Wood Ducks; Baby Bear Discovers the World; The Cutest Critter; and Some Babies Are Wild.
