Problem: Depending on where it takes place, students express discomfort with bugs, allergies/ dust, temperature.

Finding ways to show examples and demonstrate how to perform mathematical procedures.

Keeping students (and myself!) from getting distracted (see next point)

BUGS!

What makes outdoor teaching challenging?

# data[].attributes.body
Attention spans! Trying to focus on coursework/ worksheets even w/ a small group can be nearly impossible.

# data[].attributes.body
1. other classes walking by

2. weather

3. SOOOOO many distractions

4. lack of materials

# data[].attributes.body
temperature

seating

materials

maintaining boundaries

bugs

Fully integrating and connecting the outdoors to your lesson or curriculum--more than just being outside sitting and teaching the same lesson you would have inside.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know how to make it meaningful or successful.

# data[].attributes.body
easily distracted

kids forget or didn't get supplies to be successful (clipboard, water bottle)

abuse of restroom/ water fountain

# data[].attributes.body
ants, mosquitos

weather/ wind blows papers away

students want to zone out/ play

time to get there and back

sharing space/ space isn't always available

# data[].attributes.body
Connects use the same space I want to use

limited space/time for my scholars to be outside

# data[].attributes.body
Kids get distracted

Kids feel like it's recess

Sometimes it gets noisy with other people in/ around the space

Weather/ cold

No board

# data[].attributes.body
I don't necessarily have many challenges w/ it, other than noise, because we can read and discuss anywhere. The issue w/ noise relates more than how many other classes may be outside (space) and construction.

# data[].attributes.body
Can't use technology outside

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of technology

Student behavior regardless of expectations set prior to.

Sickness/ the season, allergies. (I have a student who passes out if overheated)

# data[].attributes.body
-my chosen area was closed for repairs

-no high school sized fairy rings

-picnic tables often taken by other grades/ classes

-not enough clipboards and kids don't bring their own

-students equate outside with play... of course, the only way to fix this is more time outside. It is still a current obstacle.

# data[].attributes.body
Not having done it before, I'm not sure of the perimeters and what's possible.

# data[].attributes.body
If it's at a time in between my normal outdoor activities/ labs, then I have to make up then create a new lab/ activity to do outside. Already crunched for time, so this makes everything harder.

Chromebooks not connecting or not fully charged and kids don't always check that.

# data[].attributes.body
Boundaries

Space

Need Spots

# data[].attributes.body
EOC!!!

Can be hard to see the info that students retain outside

Can be hard to be on the same page as students (the projector helps)

# data[].attributes.body
What do I do when students need to write, but are in the woods with limited materials?

# data[].attributes.body
How do I organize my teaching? How do I keep students in the boundaries when there are no boundaries? How can I keep an eye on all of my students?
