The fall is such a fabulous time for bringing learning outdoors.ย 

The leaves are changing, the temperatures are cooler.ย  Those pesky mosquitoes are slowly disappearing.ย  Kids can still run outdoors without a coat; the winter hats and scarves can stay packed away for a few more weeks.

Whether it’s at parks, nature centers, or in your own backyard, the opportunities for hands-on learning outside are endless.ย  Often children’s most meaningful experiences happen outdoors, and we want to hear what you do to make outdoor learning fun and memorable.

But how? What are some ways you bring learning outdoors?

And do you know ways to incorporate really important conservation messages into outdoor learning?ย 

  • Outdoor Learning and Conservation–Chat with Expert Educators and Georgia-Pacific: We will be sharing some rockstar ways of bringing learning outdoors next Monday, October 14, 2013.

Please join our good friends from Georgia-Pacific along with three super-awesome expert educators, Jacquie Fisher and me as we brave the twitterverse for a bit on Monday and really breakdown the โ€˜how-toโ€™s of bringing the fun learning outdoors.

My favorite little spot to lay out the mat = โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿงœ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Use an emoji to tell me yours. 

remember: it doesnโ€™t matter what you do as long as you move your body in some way each day. Total game changer. Promise. 

For me, walking the ๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ๐Ÿถ and ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธare daily non-negotiables for my physical AND mental health. 

I do the @melissawoodhealth videos each day, and her upbeat, casual attitude, variety of low-impact strengthening workouts, and reminders to just keep coming back are key.

This book is SO different from any other I have read in the recent past, and itโ€™s something that is both refreshing and hopeful. 

My friend @techninjatodd wanted to put out a book that would be a source of hope, a reminder that we are not alone. A testament to the fact that every season of life matters. 

And so, In This Season: Words From the Heart was born, with help from the amazing @apron_education @allylee21 @writtentospeak @omar2764

โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ

Life is full of seasons.

Each of us has endured the cold of winter, the growth of spring, the light of summer, and the change of fall. Weโ€™ve climbed to the mountaintops and been deep in the valley.

In This Season: Words for the Heart takes the emotions we feel deep within and puts them into words. The pages of this book invite you to reflect and lean in as you continue through season after season.

๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ

Check this book out, friends. It is worth your time, and it is the perfect book for busy educators to pick up, read a few pages over a quick cup of coffee before the day begins or as you kick up your feet at the end of the day. 

It feels like a quiet conversation with a close friend or dear colleague. Important topics are touched on which remind us that our feelings and thoughts and insecurities are often not as unusual as we may think. Rather, these ups and downs of life are a shared experience that couldโ€”and should!โ€”be shared more frequently and openly. The reminder that we are not alone could not come at a more pivotal time for all of us; in the past two years, we have been reminded that life is short but that seasons change. Letโ€™s make the most of what we have!

Thank you, Todd, LaNesha, Tanner, and Alice for starting this conversation. 

โ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธ

Grab it here: https://amzn.to/3O4jMqN

And do follow these great writers, educators, and thought leaders.

Call your senators and demand they #DontLookAway from this crisis:
