TRANSCRIPT
Nature Journaling
Nature journaling is the regular recording of observations, perceptions, and feelings about the natural world around you
Nature Journaling
Daily journaling – within our schedule & outside of class.
A child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood.
