Project Seasons for Young Learners : Cultivating Joy & Wonder July 8, 2025
Tap into your own curiosity and joy by connecting with peers; engaging with our farmyard, forest, lake, and wetlands; and learning practical activities and pedagogy you can easily employ in your own place. We’ll use hands-on activities, protocols, and shared learning to examine how the Big Ideas of Sustainability can instill a deep love and appreciation for the natural world in both you and your students. We look forward to this week every year because no program is the same and it brings together a wonderful community of learners from all over who share, inspire, and support each other. Cultivating Joy and Wonder is best suited for practicing early childhood educators (preK–2nd grade level), though all educators working with young children are welcome.
