Nature Unfolds

Nature Unfolds

This Discover Nature School (DNS) program, Nature Unfolds, is designed for kindergarten through 2nd grade and includes 4 seasonal units that focus on seasonal changes, weather, lifecycles, and parent/offspring relationships. The curriculum supports Missouri Learning Standards (MLS) in science, particularly life science. The hands-on, inquiry-focused lessons provide outdoor learning opportunities where students can explore their own schoolyard.

This workshop is for MSU pre-service teachers ONLY!

Our Nature Unfolds Instructional Unit includes a student book titled See How the Turkey Grows, a science notebook, and teacher guide. Together they help K-2 students learn about life cycles, seasons, weather, and basic needs of plants and animals.

See How the Turkey Grows is written for young learners. Instead of a simple textbook, this realistic fiction picture book is designed for children to make discoveries and connections as their understanding of concepts unfolds.

Private workshop for elementary teachers at Clarkton Elementary.

Crosswalk work and training for Unfolds until the 2nd grade curriculum becomes available.
