Every single time I took my classes out of the classroom, I could feel their joy, and their engagement switch on. <br /><br />Kids nowadays don't get to roam the way kids of my generation did. I think it's so beneficial when school can provide safe outdoor learning experiences.BookChookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230711251425187241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472287208924187505.post-49294234283723439952009-05-04T10:48:00.000-04:002009-05-04T10:48:00.000-04:00Not exposing students to nature often enough is wo...Not exposing students to nature often enough is worrying to me as well- especially because those experiences can be so powerful and meaningful to the students. <br /><br />As always, it's better to do (be outside <I>in</I> nature) than just hear about (be in class learning about nature).<br /><br />Good post.
