All month long, the N.C. Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs is hosting free #LunchTimeDiscovery workshops in celebration of Earth Day! Today at 12 PM ET Laura Wood, Environmental Connections Integration Specialist at Lincoln Heights Environmental Connections Magnet Elementary School, will share practices and strategies you can replicate, including how to invite students beyond the four walls of a traditional classroom to be immersed in nature.

 

#NCEarthDay It's Earth Day all month on the #LunchTimeDiscovery Livestream show. We're starting with the basics...environmental education! Our first guest is Laura Wood, Environmental Connections Integration Specialist at Lincoln Heights Environmental Connections Magnet Elementary School. Lincoln Heights Elementary School is one of two magnet schools in North Carolina to offer the Environmental Connections program, where all subjects are taught through an environmental lens. Join Laura Wood to learn about the origin of the school's theme, its implementation and the many ways students are connecting with the environment. She will share practices and strategies you can replicate, and tips and tricks to take students beyond the four walls of a traditional classroom to be immersed in nature. Come and learn how to connect with the environment all year long!
