In this workshop, 5th-6th grade educators will be introduced to lessons and activities that focus on what educators can do before/after outdoor school to prepare their students and extend the learning that happens at outdoor school. To support this learning extension, participants will explore activities from Project Learning Tree’s Explore Your Environment Activity Guide that are low prep and address relevant NGSS standards, while allowing students to spend time in nature. We will focus on the benefits of taking advantage of outside spaces to enhance student learning.
