Nature Journaling Class for Homeschoolers! “In the practice of nature journaling, you use words, pictures, and numbers to collect and record your observations, questions, connections, and explanations on the pages of a notebook. You do not need to be an artist or a naturalist to begin. These skills can be learned by anyone, and you can develop them with deliberate practice.” -John Muir Law Unlock the wonders of the natural world with our Nature Journaling class, specifically designed for homeschooled children aged 8-13. Over six engaging sessions, young explorers will embark on a creative journey to record and interpret the beauty of nature. Through a variety of outdoor settings at the beautiful Mobile Botanical Gardens, students will develop their observation skills, foster a deeper connection with the environment, and cultivate their artistic expression. With guidance from an experienced teacher, MBG Director of Education Sara Habel, students will learn various journaling techniques, including sketching, writing, and collecting natural materials. Meanwhile, they will also discover how to slow down, observe, and appreciate the intricate details of the natural world. While combining art, science, and nature, this class encourages children to think creatively, develop their critical thinking skills, and build confidence in their abilities. Mobile Botanical Gardens’ diverse landscapes and ecosystems provide the perfect backdrop for this immersive experience. So have your child join us on this exciting adventure, where curiosity meets creativity, and nature becomes the ultimate teacher. Let’s cultivate a new generation of nature lovers, observers, and stewards of the environment. Register your child today and watch them blossom into a skilled nature journalist! FREE for members or with admission; registration required Mrs. Habel will lead this class designed for homeschoolers aged 9-13 on Tuesday mornings between 9-10:30 am.
