January brings a New Year and hopefully 2020 will bring us some cheer! January brings a chill in the air, that’s the reason we bundle up with care.

The outdoor classroom never sleeps.  Students notice the unnoticeable. They are Mother Nature’s greatest eyes and ears.  A watchful eye is always needed this time of year.

Our children have been enjoying painting snow on pine cones and hanging them in our trees.  So much fun for everyone to see!

One of the biggest and ever evolving lessons in the outdoor classroom, is to teach students respect for themselves and for others.  This is facilitated by acknowledging children’s strong emotions and modeling how to solve problems. Also, emphasis and attention is placed on supporting student’s creativity and providing them with opportunities for free expression.

New delights and opportunities await each time children venture outdoors!!
