This training focuses on promoting nature-based learning inside the classroom.  Discussion will include what kinds of materials can be used and how, develop a sample lesson plan with activity ideas and discuss what to include in different centers, and complete an activity that participants can recreate at school with students.

Participants will become certified in Red Cross approved basic adult, child, and infant CPR and First Aid. The primary purpose of this training is to help participants recognize and respond appropriately to cardiac, breathing, and first aid emergencies. The training is designed to teach participants the knowledge and skills needed to give immediate care to an injured or ill person and decide whether advanced medical care is needed.

Learn about how social and emotional development influence behavior, some factors as to why children struggle to regulate their emotions, and what we can do to help children learn to self-regulate.  We will discuss mindfulness practices, a variety of interventions for challenging behaviors, and we will be making calming sensory bottles to add to our calm down boxes or emotional toolkits.
