With this link, it would be free with new to Outschool learners for the first month. It’s set as $5 per month and kids can participate anytime, anywhere. It’s a new forum-style group option that Outschool has recently added, so I opened up a Nature Lovers Group. It’s meant for a group of learners to share in their interests and encourage one another through projects, challenges, and discussions set and moderated by me. It is set for ages 10-18 (although younger kids can enroll still). I’m excited to start this affordable and accessible group based around my passion, encouraging learners to grow in their love of nature!

Do you know what is super fun to teach AND learn? Nature journaling. I’ve been teaching it on Outschool for about five months and have been amazing at how much connection to nature and the content learned by my students. I’ve seen students develop a stronger bond to nature and notice the smaller things. It is peaceful and educational. Such a perfect combination.
Check out the class if you think your learner would be interested in drawing and talking about various parts of nature. ✍️ 🌺 🦅 🐞 🌱 🐺 🍄 🐝
