This session focuses on hands-on strategies teachers can immediately use to replace or adapt lessons tied to standards they already teach, rather than adding extra content. Participants will explore practical ways to bring math, language arts, and science outdoors through cross-curricular planning that extends learning beyond the classroom while increasing student engagement.

This session will take place at
Highlands Elementary
5505 Doncaster Way
Edina, MN 55436

Please bring outdoor clothing and gear as part of this session will take place outdoors. Snacks will be provided. Please bring your own beverage and/or water bottle.
