In class on Monday, Heather came to talk with us about the Project Learning Tree curriculum. I really enjoyed the two day workshop where we were able to learn about the different lessons and activities that are available for us to use. I really liked how each of the lessons incorporated the environment and provided lots of hands- on activities. The PLT science curriculum really helps students to see that science is not all memorization and facts; science does include doing fun things! I feel learning becomes so much more meaningful when the students are able to use nature and the outside environment!
When I become a teacher I will definitely incorporate PLT into my science curriculum. I love that it is so easy to use and that it is able to be differentiated according to the abilities of your students. The lessons are very clearly stated and provide wonderful activities to help your students learn and appreciate nature.
I am so glad we had the chance to be apart of the Project Learning Tree workshop :)
I agree! Project Learning Tree opened many ideas for activities that will be so much fun in our classrooms!
ReplyDeletePLT is a powerful curriculum that has been tried and tested for years. It is easily integrated into existing curricula and across content areas. So glad you liked it, Allison... There's more where that came from! :-)
