ExchangeEveryDay Past Issues

In their popular new book, Bringing the Outside In, authors Sandra Duncan and Jody Martin offer an engaging idea for creating what they call a “Classroom Natural Museum."

"Find a display case, table or shelving unit that becomes the children’s special space for found objects and position it in a prominent area in the classroom. Offer interesting see-through jars and low-sided containers for children to use when displaying their found items. Provide display stands and pedestals for children to use. Include 3 by 5-inch index cards for children to make identification tags.

Whenever going outside, bring along a unique collecting basket for children to gather their treasures. Before coming inside, children determine what items will be displayed in their natural museum. Elect a naturalist to keep the museum neat and tidy, as well as a curator who is responsible for displaying the wonderful found treasures. Encourage children to frequently change the museum display to keep interest anew."
