For our final session targeted for just kids, we reviewed everything we had done and what they learned during our prior sessions of Nature Buddy Club. We discussed what they liked the most about Nature Buddy Club. Their favorite parts of the sessions were going on the walks, spotting things and learning about nature. One of the boys brought some geodes to show the group.
After our talk, we made crafts with pine cones, leaves, flowers, and many other items that are found in nature that can be found on the forest floor. We also glued items into our notebooks and drew fun, colorful shapes around them. One of the girls looked for roly polies and created a micro-habitat for them!
It was exciting to see the kids excited to enjoy nature their own way. The examples of the kids with their interest in geodes and roly polies micro-habitat without me planning something around those items was evidence they had connected with nature and had learned how to apply what we had discussed throughout our sessions!
