Why use this resource?
Sometime's students can get overwhelmed with nature journaling because there is SO much nature and they just don't know where to start. In addition to the overwhelmingness of nature, many students think that the journal has to be done in a specific way. In reality, a nature journal can look like a lot of different things. It can be poems, drawings, lists, dates, and more! For students who are overwhelmed, a guided journal will help them get started and take the guesswork out of it.
Nature journaling can be an important addition to your classroom because it teaches an array of different skills. Skills, such as observing, writing, drawing, record keeping, self-reflection, and more. It can be incorporated into a lot of different subjects as well.
