Quote: from Outdoor Integration by Tartachuk and Eich

"We view the outdoor classroom as a context for learning through inquiry and a place for students to apply what they are

learning in their science and language arts curriculum. In doing so, we hope to also connect many students to the outdoors and nature as a place for personal exploration

and appreciation—a place not to be feared (Louv 2005)."

This is something students would do at the beginning of class to get them focused and prepared for the day's lesson. It can be related to new content or a refresher of what they did the day before. This activates schema and centers students in the classroom.

This is something that is done in my pre-prac: create book boxes that contain texts about the content they are learning. This will allow for students to choose books on the topic that interest them. They can also serve as a resource for them to refer back to.

In order to help students think about what they have been learning in the lesson, have them write a reflection/debrief in their science notebooks as a form of exit ticket. This will help them to build connections with the content and utilize writing as a way of remembering the information. This could be done as a free write, with guiding questions, or to try to answer the essential questions for the lesson.

"Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family." This is a quote that I recently came across that really struck me. Education goes beyond knowing 2+2=4 or when WWII started; it is about gaining knowledge, skills, and experiences that allow you to enter the world and hopefully make your own impact for the better.

She wrote in her social studies methods book that learning should involve "hands, hearts, and heads". This is something I strive for in all I do, especially with my teaching. I want to put my all into everything and really experience things, and I want my students to also have that.

This is something that I had never thought to incorporate into my unit or science classroom, but I really think it has great value. Laying out what you envision your science classroom.community to be will help dictate how you structure lessons and what kinds of approaches you will implements. Sharing this with students and having them create their own vision statement would also be very cool to do!

This is a way for students to meet in different groups to debrief on guided questions or to discuss a topic being explored in class that day. Students are given paper, play doh, and other tools to play around with while they talk to keep them focused.

I had never worked with crayfish before or seen one live. Being able to look at them closely, examine their body structures, observe their behaviors taught me a lot about the animal itself and how a lesson like this would work in an elementary classroom.

This would be a wonderful field trip for younger students as there are many exhibitions that are designed for students of that age. There is also an area dedicated to healthy living which would integrate well with a unit on nutrition. Additionally, there is an entire Arthur exhibit which could work well with a Arthur text set. Lastly, there is a room dedicated to building and engineering which is hands on and extremely engaging for students.
