Project Learning Tree Pre k-8 Project Learning Tree uses trees as textbooks to give students the opportunity to explore interdisciplinary concepts and develop critical thinking skills through activity-focused, place-based education. Designed for use with students pre k-8, each PLT activity is correlated to state standards and requires minimal preparation, so they can fit right into your lesson plans.
Each day of the
workshop will provide opportunities for you to learn and participate
in PLT activities, become familiar with the PLT Activity Guide, and
learn techniques for teaching in the outdoors. Join us for two
evenings of fun and learning. Each participant will receive a
copy of the PLT Pre k-8 Environmental Education Activity Guide. Oakland County
