Outdoor Learning Environment 2018 by Chaylene Francisco https://padlet.com/chaylene_francisco/outdoorlearning2018 Learning in the Outdoors - the Kindergarten team will be gathering input in regards to the K outdoor learning environment. We are currently working on applying for a grant to further develop the K yard as an extended classroom and value any ideas for structures, materials, etc. that you might want to see in the K yard. ** this is a collection of ideas ** // Connecting to the natural world contributes to children's mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health and well-being. Children's natural curiosity and sense of wonder can be fostered by providing them with many opportunities to learn outdoors. As educators, we believe that the outdoors offers valuable learning opportunities and can inspire the kind of thinking, learning, leadership, and innovation that can be transferred into everyday learning within the classroom. // Questions for Reflection: How can we make the outdoors part of the learning environment? In what ways can we extend the learning environment beyond the classroom? In what ways can we help children to explore the natural world more deeply and directly? en-us 2018-01-27 22:31:54 UTC 2026-03-20 17:15:51 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Xmastree.png robyn_grierson https://padlet.com/chaylene_francisco/outdoorlearning2018/wish/225330800 AstroTurf ]]> 2018-01-27 22:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/chaylene_francisco/outdoorlearning2018/wish/225330800 Visuals chaylene_francisco https://padlet.com/chaylene_francisco/outdoorlearning2018/wish/225330963 - Teepee structure
