📓 After completeing an activity or nature journaling event we love to spend some time sharing our entries in a circle, by placing the journals face up on the ground or table. Benefits of sharing journals: 🌱 Expand our own perspectives and practice curiosity 💬 Collaborative learning through sparking new questions & ideas 🤝 Build a sense of community through communication 🧠 Strengthens memory and cognitive processing 🔁 Reflect on our observations ✨ It's FUN! There’s always something valuable to share with our peers, at ANY AGE! 📣 Shout-out to Environmental Literacy Teacher graduates (an SDCaN program) Nikki and Anita of Ivey Ranch Elementary for leading a family nature exploration outing at Batiquitos Lagoon, where the clips of the kiddos is from! #NatureJournaling #OutdoorLearning #AllAgesWelcome #EnvironmentalEducation #ScienceIsForEveryone #CommunityInNature #NatureIsOurClassroom #naturejournalwithkids #SanDiegoChildrenAndNature #IWonderINoticeIRemindMeOf (fb)

⭐ We are back with Part 2 of tips for your next (or first!) nature journaling activity with your children or students! At a past Nature Journal Club for Educators Meet Up, led by Marley Peifer educators gathered among blooming native plants at the Land of the First People gardens in Old Town to reflect, share, and grow as nature journaling guides. ✨This graphic shares Part 2 of a series of tips brainstormed by educators during the session. Scroll back a bit for Part 1, or send us a DM. #NatureJournaling #GrowthMindset #OutdoorLearning #SDCaN #SpringInSanDiego #EnvironmentalEducation #TeacherCommunity #NatureBasedLearning (fb)
