In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to ignite their own sense of wonder by taking a closer look at a favorite text "The Sense of Wonder" by naturalist Rachel Carson. We will connect the text to our own nature explorations with early childhood students. We will introduce you to a tool called a loupe and follow the Private Eye Protocol of look, write, draw and theorize. You will have a turn to look closely at objects from the natural world and learn how to think by analogy.
In this session, you will:

Practice the Private Eye protocol: Look, write, draw and theorize, so you can share it with your students.
