Welcome to the BC Reggio-Inspired Mathematics Nature Journalling Club!

In the fall of 2026 we are taking part in a small pilot of 25 teachers with plans to extend and expand the project across schools and districts. The BCRIM Project received a seed grant from Wild Wonder Foundation to begin a nature journalling club through a mathematics lens.

We will be meeting in-person or on Zoom once a month and learning and sharing with each other.

Looking forward to a new project together!

Nature journaling is the practice of observing and recording the natural world through words, Pictures, and numbers. It combines science, art, and mindfulness to deepen your connection with nature, build curiosity, creativity, and observation skills—no art experience required. Whether sketching leaves or noting wildlife behaviors, it’s a fun and accessible way to slow down, learn, and connect with the world around you.

I've attached the math section from John (Jack) Muir Laws' book on How To Teach Nature Journaling (the whole book is available as a free pdf download on his website). I think this section will provide some inspiration for our project and different math lenses we can use when nature journaling. Thanks to Jack for making this available!

here are some of my nature journal pages from this summer ~Janice

toggle the arrows under the image to see the gallery of photos

note: I tried to follow the Wild Wonder Foundation frameworks of using pictures, numbers, words and also including notice, wonder, connect (what they call "it reminds me of") in each of these pages as well as using a mathematics lens looking at quantity, shape, size, pattern, symmetry, data, etc.

I also tried to explore different ways of capturing what I was observing and thinking about, using different materials, tools, and techniques.
