Abstract/Notes: Current literature provides ample evidence to support that contact with nature can have a multitude of positive effects on people’s well-being including the learning and development of young children. Furthermore, variations in sensory experiences and sensory processing styles can impact individual behavior, as well as how one benefits from nature. Though many educational systems now feature nature-based approaches, little attention has been given to children’s sensory experiences in nature. Montessori pedagogy, however, promotes direct engagement with the natural world and emphasizes sensory education, providing a strong basis for new research. The present study aimed to examine the impact of multi-sensory, nature-based activities on young children’s interactions with nature. To measure this impact, 14 Montessori preschool children were presented with a variety of multi-sensory, nature-based activities and observed on their school playgrounds for ten weeks. Additionally, information regarding their individual sensory processing styles and connectedness to nature was collected from the children’s parents. Results indicate that students' engagement with the activities may influence the ways they sensorially engage with nature and increase the frequency in which they interact with particular natural elements. The data also demonstrates potential interactions between some individuals’ sensory processing styles and the ways they engage with nature. Finally, the data shows a 5.65% average increase in the group’s overall connectedness to nature scores, suggesting that multi-sensory, nature-based activities may strengthen students’ sense of connection to nature. This study concludes with an outline of further areas of research of multi-sensory, nature-based

Abstract/Notes: The researcher in this study utilized the Montessori concepts and materials that emphasize the use of hands-on manipulatives in the classroom with 10 adult English language learners ranging from ages 18-60. The purpose was to investigate whether or not hands-on manipulatives were effective in aiding adult English language learners to acquire English. The term English Language Learner (ELL) is used for any student learning English in the United States. For confidentiality purposes, this study uses abbreviated versions of the students' names. Reference to an ELL's home country may be alluded to merely for the sake of providing background information to the reader. The researcher facilitated all the English language lessons as well as observed the participants' reactions to the material. Some of the observation notes will be provided when needed in order to provide reports on the effectiveness of the materials used with ELLs.
