With the warmer weather upon us, it’s time to start thinking about treating yourself and your students to a breath of fresh air…with some Outdoor Learning!
Create an outdoor learning location for students to connect with nature, feel invigorated, and appreciate the richness of the environment.
There are so many benefits to bringing learning outside:
1) It’s enjoyable - Outdoor learning is enjoyable for both students and teachers! Outside of the four walls of a classroom, away from the conventional seating patterns, students are more inventive and get that sense of freedom. Different environments suit different learning styles. As a result, having an outdoor space could benefit students who struggle in traditional classroom settings.
2) It’s good for us - Being outside has been shown to benefit students on a physical, mental, and social level! Hearing nature's noises and breathing its fresh air lifts spirits, enhances focus, and increases participation.
