Walking trips are a terrific – and inexpensive – way for children to explore and experience their community. Use children’s interests as starting points to plan walks that are meaningful and engaging, and let children’s natural curiosity and wonder help guide their learning as they investigate neighborhood gardens, markets, and even construction sites. Included with each walk are vocabulary words and related children’s books; a list of suggested items to bring along; and tips to extend children’s learning before, during, and after the outing. 304 pages.
