Go Play Outside

Get outside!    
Need more inspiration to get outside, check out Generation Wild
We live in a state full of beauty and nature!  I love when I get to leave the walls of our classroom and head outside.  Kids thrive in areas where they are trusted to explore, figure things out and collaborate.
No formal playground equipment was needed for crew members to try something hard, work with someone new and trust themselves. 
Students did the work of scientist by observing out in nature.  Students did the work of crew members by asking each other for help, watching friends try something they wanted to know how to do and work together to solve problems.
I am continually inspired by the curiosity, wonder and courage of my crew full of 4, 5 and 6 year olds.  The 2 hours outside went way to fast!  I hope you and yours get outside!
