I visited Cape May City Elementary School on Friday June 6. After two assemblies, we had time for classroom visits and Q&As. We even did short nature breaks in the school's front yard. Some of the students had a chance to look through binoculars, others examined tree bark and all of us had a great time chatting about nature and nature observation. Throughout the hallways, walls were decorated with nature topics. Kids even created clay figures of nature!

I visited Gordan Elementary School in Coatesville, PA on May 20. We did two assembly programs, one for K-2 and one for 3-5. The students were so enthusiastic about nature! As I visited individual classrooms and had a chance to chat with students and teachers, I learned that everyone had been studying nature prior to my visit. Students participated in projects which were posted in the hallways throughout the school. Can you imagine how excited I was to see the halls decorated with stories, poems, illustrations, and cool facts about nature in Coatesville. What w wonderful day. What a fabulous group of educators! What a fun group of students. What a warm and enthusiastic welcome! Click on the photo to see the full gallery.
