Inspiration from Nature Based Quotes

Add literacy to your Outdoor Classrooms with inspiring Nature Based Quotes.

MONDAY:

“Teaching children about the natural world should be seen as one of the most important events in their lives.” Thomas Berry, The Dream of the Earth

TUESDAY: 

“Children are born with a sense of wonder and an affinity for Nature. Properly cultivated, these values can mature into ecological literacy, and eventually into sustainable patterns of living.” Zenobia Barlow, “Confluence of Streams”

WEDNESDAY:

” He who plants a tree, plants a hope.” Lucy Larcom

THURSDAY: 

“If a child is to keep his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.” Rachel Carson

FRIDAY: 

“Take care of the land and the land will take care of you.” H. Bennett

We want to hear from you. How do words and quotes inspire you? How can you add words/quotes to your Outdoor Classroom? How do the words make you feel about reconnecting children to nature? Write your comments below.

    Love the idea of using a different quote for each day of the week. The quotes you chose are wonderful and inspiring. Quotes do wonders for the mind and i will have to incorporate them more into my days and lesson planning. It may be fun to create quote signs for our garden beds/ outdoor classrooms. Maybe start with inspirational quotes as the ones above and eventually add quotes from the students.

      I think I might have to add inspirational quotes to my Outdoor Classrooms learning lab. Thanks for the reminder!

    I like to use nature quotes or short poems in my newsletters in an attempt to inspire parents and caregivers to get their children outside. I like the idea of laminating quotes or short poems and putting them in the quiet area in the outdoor classroom.
    I read books (currently “How to Raise a Wild Child” by Scott D. Sampson, I can’t recommend it enough) to help keep me inspired in my journey to becoming a Natural Teacher.

    I love to learn about our natural world, and ways to pass that on to my little ones. One of my favorite books is “Seeing Nature” by Paul Krafel. I adopted his phrase “Begin the work” for myself as I began to grow more interest in the outdoors as a place of inspiration and meaning.
