It may sound strange… but join me online, for a session that is all about getting your students OUTSIDE to learn new science outcomes and more!  That’s right - this session will provide you with ample outdoor learning experiences that are:

- Manageable for 1 teacher and a class full of active learners

- Inclusive of Science AND subjects like ELAL, Math, Art & PE
- Good for the well-being of you and your students
- Applicable across the seasons (well, most seasons… we are still in Alberta after all)

Teachers will be provided with resources and recommendations to support implementation. Please be prepared to turn on your cameras, engage in conversation and get excited about getting outside!
