I made a Nature Time Calendar in an attempt to connect with the natural world in a more visceral way: I wanted a calendar that would reflect a physical experience of the changing seasons, and it had to be different enough to get me out of my comfort zone with time.

So calendar pages start and end with the new moon, not the month! Also includes: constellations, meteor showers, Native American names for each moon, seasonal nature facts (lots of science here), inspirational quotes, what regional produce is in season, and more.

Just popping in to say hello! Looking forward to connecting and reading your posts. You can also find me at http://tinypeasant.com/ where I blog about learning and living with my four kiddos, and also share and sell learning resources, many of which engage children in the natural world.

Great news! The film, Project Wild Thing, is now available online - it's may be something you would enjoy as it's about rebranding nature to encourage parents and children to spend more time outside http://vimeo.com/ondemand/projectwildthing

I just wanted to post a link to my most recent blog.... I hope you enjoy it.

You don't have to "Go" anywhere to enjoy nature!

Hi all,

Forest Kids:
Why the Modern Classroom is Moving Outside
By Andrea Gordon
Forest schools have long flourished in Scandinavia, Germany and Britain. They are places where children learn through free play, movement and hands-on experience in nature. Now, Canada is exploring the benefits of outdoor learning. Sangster Elementary in Colwood, B.C., launched its joyous Nature Kindergarten last fall, and now outdoor preschools, kindergartens and primary programs are popping up throughout that province, as well as in Ontario and New Brunswick. Why? Because there’s mounting evidence that nature enhances children’s health, learning and confidence while cutting down on behavioural issues. In Forest Kids: Why the Modern Classroom is Moving Outside, Star journalist Andrea Gordon conveys outdoor learners’ engagement and sense of wonder, and probes the fascinating science of nature’s effects on the brain and body of people young and old. But she also explores whether it's just a passing novelty or has real staying power.
