Exploring, Engaging, Journaling: Outdoor Learning to Cultivate Well-Being LIMITED

Saturday May 10, 2025 9:45am - 11:00am MDT

Today's curriculum is often packed with content, creating pressure and stress for both students and educators. Incorporating regular outdoor learning opportunities into the curriculum can alleviate stress, foster well-being, and encourage a more positive mindset.

Let`s explore simple, practical activities that take students outdoors on a regular basis, to engage with their environment through place-based learning. These activities are designed to promote curiosity, mindfulness, and meaningful connections with nature, benefiting both students and educators.

Through intentional exploration, observation, and journaling, students will learn how to document their discoveries, reflect on their experiences, and engage in thoughtful discussions. This nature-inspired journaling session will help students capture details and insights while building calmness and emotional resilience.
