Using the outdoors to nurture early learners

Kids are drawn to nature. Skillful teachers can use nature to create powerful learning experiences.

Connecting to Place

Learning and practicing care

The outdoor classroom is: Not recess or outdoor play time Nor is it about environmental advocacy

Ecophobia Vast global and environmental issues should not be laid at the feet of early learners No tragedies before 4 th grade

The teacher in the outdoor classroom

How to be outside with kids Start small Start local Focus on Place

Get help and make sure they are prepared

Plan ahead have the supplies you need on hand

So, what are we going to do outside?

The outdoor classroom

Build anticipation Use a familiar prop that kids can associate with adventure. Create a bag or box of surprise tools to explore nature

Create special places just for kids

Create rich sensory experiences Build confidence and a sense of wonder about the world

Combine music, movement and creative expression

Employ mimicry

Dig things up and turn them over get dirty

For learning sake, get your kids outside
