Introduction to Nature Journaling
Hands on Workshop for Grades K-8
Each interactive workshop is thoughtfully tailored to the developmental level and curriculum needs of each specific grade. Using the INIWIRMO framework (I Notice, I Wonder, It Reminds Me Of), students are guided through the art of nature journaling in a way that is engaging, age-appropriate, and meaningful.
In addition to being customized for each grade, every workshop is designed with a specific science curriculum focus, ensuring strong connections to key concepts such as life systems, earth and space, environmental impacts, or scientific inquiry—depending on the grade level.
Through hands-on exploration, students will:
-
Notice the details of their environment, observing the small and subtle wonders of the natural world.
-
Wonder about what they see, asking thoughtful questions and cultivating curiosity.
-
Reflect by connecting their observations to personal memories, emotions, or broader ideas.
Each session provides students with the foundational tools and creative inspiration to begin or deepen their nature journaling journey. By the end of the workshop, every learner will have a personal journal filled with rich observations, insights, and a stronger connection to the outdoors.
All programs are aligned with the Ontario Curriculum.

Interested in WINTER NATURE JOURNALING SESSIONS?
If you’d like to Nature Journal during the winter months, sessions run 1.5 hours to allow for both exploration and creativity. We’ll spend the first half outside discovering winter wonders, then head indoors for a warm, focused hour of journaling what we observed.
8 Week Nature Journaling Session
Hands on Workshop for Grades 4-8
This progressive 8-week program is carefully designed to support students at every grade level, with each workshop tailored to align with their developmental stage and curriculum expectations. Through guided nature journaling activities, drawing, writing, inquiry, and reflection, students gradually build and refine their skills week by week.
Each session introduces a new focus, allowing students to progressively expand their observational abilities, scientific thinking, and creative expression. The program integrates science, mathematics, language, visual arts, social studies, and geography, offering a rich, cross-curricular experience rooted in exploration and curiosity.
For students in Grades 6–8, the program culminates in a meaningful stewardship project that encourages environmental responsibility and empowers them to apply their learning through action. This final activity gives students an opportunity to reflect on their role in protecting and sustaining the natural world.
These workshops foster a deep, lasting connection to nature while nurturing wonder, mindfulness, and creativity. Whether it's a one-time introduction or a full 8-week journey, students leave with the tools and confidence to continue nature journaling independently.
All programs are aligned with the Ontario Curriculum.
