Young children are innately connected to the natural world but require opportunities to develop this connection. Using children’s books that focus on the outdoors, participants will discover ways of extending the story, focusing on inquiry based learning while enhancing children’s language and literacy skills. Extension ideas presented will include hands on learning using natural loose parts, environmental rhyme and sensory circles, oral storytelling relating to nature, and developmentally appropriate risky play opportunities. This workshop is geared towards those working with children in the early years and the ultimate goal is to provide information, tools and resources for participants to then share in their own early learning environments. Book lists and supporting resources will be shared by email.
Presenters: Nancy Tovell is a Program Coordinator at Bookmates and has a wide range of experience in facilitating workshops with a focus on sharing strategies, tools and resources to support those working with families and young children. As the mother to two girls, she believes in the importance of fostering a connection to nature by tasting the earth and playing in the rain.
