Nature Journaling is the greatest way to keep students engaged, journaling, AND loving the environment and the outdoors.
Are you looking for ways to keep students engaged and writing? Take them outside.
Journaling provides the perfect opportunity for teachers to change the instructional day and allow students to write in an entirely new environment. Introductory lesson plans are included so teachers don’t have to stress over how to get kids to journal outside. Just copy the pages and staple them together. Assembly is quick and easy.
