An event that will show Markham educators how they can extend education beyond the four walls of their classroom and the schoolyard beyond will be held next week, and those who are interested are invited to register now.
The organizers of the “Exploring the Outdoors: Seeing Beyond Your Playground” workshop are passionate about the opportunities outdoor learning can offer. They will be demonstrating how easy it can be to incorporate nature-based play into their daily classroom routine, and it is free to register.
The educators who participate will be invited to explore their own connection with nature and learn how they can translate this into a positive learning experiences for their students. They will discover how they can get kids excited about being outdoors whatever the weather, and find out how this can all be the basis for a lifelong love of nature.
This opportunity for area educators to find out how they can incorporate nature and the environment in their lesson plans has been created by Toronto Children’s Services. A printing services company can offer handouts and other items for the participants in an event like to can use when working with their own students.
The daylong workshop will be on offered on Tuesday, October 1. It is scheduled to take place at 325 Milner Avenue in Scarborough.
