Plan and journal from a recent explorations in #ecology meetup.

From my book:

I like to think of ecosystems as a dance of interdependence. All ecosystem contributors, living and nonliving, participate in this grand improvisation. I don’t know the names of all the players in the band, but the seasons certainly lay down the beat for the rest of us. #ecology

A quote from my book:

I like to think of ecosystems as a dance of interdependence. All ecosystem contributors, living and nonliving, participate in this grand improvisation. I don’t know the names of all the players in the band, but the seasons certainly lay down the beat for the rest of us.

Independence is a myth! Try existing in space as a test of your independence. Instead of learning how to be more independent, we should all learn to be more interdependent with each other and the rest of the natural world!

Wow!

In this journal, I reflect on the value of play-based learning. Yes, free play is wonderful and important, and I leave plenty of time for it. And, play-based adult-guided activity can also be a joyful learning experience for kids!

This journal contains a confession that sometimes I want to be a dictator, then I remember...

Posting on behalf of my son. The survey took me less than 10 minutes to complete.

I'm Noah Kindfield. I'm in my final year of the Criminology program at SSU. Please take a moment to fill out my survey about educational programs for incarcerated people.

Here's how I help kids deepen their relationships with themselves, each other, and the beyond-human world.

The kids spent some time tying knots. Here's a post on working with cordage, including basic knot tying.

I'm reading, Medicine Wheel for the Planet, and have updated my definition of ecoculture. It's a great read!

Gotcha.

It took me 60 years to find my niche as a nurturer of outdoor learning environments and communities for children! For more about how I help kids construct their understanding of heat, see:

The games we played are described in more detail here: peterkindfieldphd.substack.com/p/trail-games

No being is independent or self-sufficient. If you think you are, try one minute in outer space without any of the relationships we need to survive. Here's my declaration of #interdependence

I love tree planting with kids!
