Nobody  knows this better than veteran teacher Laurie Rubin. In To Look Closely: Science and Literacy in the Natural World ,  she demonstrates how nature study can help students become careful,  intentional observers of all they see, growing into stronger readers,  writers, mathematicians, and scientists in the process. Laurie  invites you to join her class of twenty-one second graders as they visit  a small stream in the woods behind a suburban elementary school, and  she shares her reflections on class discussions, activities, and  learning experiences. From setting a tone of inquiry-based thinking in  the classroom to suggesting specific units of study for reading,  writing, and science, Laurie guides teachers step-by-step through the  basics of how to integrate the skills acquired through nature study into  every subject. You will also discover all the ways this purposeful work  nurtures green citizens who grow up determined to value and protect  the natural environment. Filled with student journal entries, narratives, and poems inspired by experiences in the natural world, To Look Closely   will inspire and encourage you to become a careful observer of your own  sit spots outdoors and embrace  nature study for a year-;or for  whatever part of a year is possible for you.
