The Coastside Land Trust recently facilitated a successful workshop for the staff at El Granada Elementary (EGE) during their professional development day. With 21 enthusiastic participants, the day was a blend of learning, creativity, and connection to nature.
The workshop began with a presentation that highlighted the numerous benefits of outdoor education and nature journaling. Participants learned how these practices not only enhance students' understanding of the natural world but also promote mindfulness, observation skills, and creativity.
Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many staff members excited to integrate these practices into their classrooms. We’re grateful to EGE for the opportunity and look forward to seeing how they use these new ideas.
