Learning Activities

The following is a learning activity sample for parents and teachers looking to share short learning activities related to the Connecting Children to Nature through American Literature book selections. 

Learning activities should be fun and creative and inspired by the child's connection to the natural world.    

SAMPLE LEARNING ACTIVITY

Old Mother West Wind
Take a walk in nature to a place where you have observed animals at play.  Take along a sketchpad, journal, binoculars, writing tools, and perhaps a camera for documentation.  Consider which animals entertain you and bring them to life creating a short story.  Ask different family members to help you develop this story and see where your imaginations may take you.
