Outdoor classrooms offer children a positive experience with nature and the outdoors in a safe, somewhat structured environment with trusted teachers and friends nearby. Exposure to nature through an outdoor classroom encourages and fosters an important connection to the environment that will benefit a child through their entire lives.
An outdoor classroom can also serve as your school’s very own field trip destination! Make use of a rainy day and incorporate the natural phenomenon in every subject for the school day or plan ahead for a nature-themed day of exploration – the possibilities are endless!
A daily outdoor classroom period provides students with an extra opportunity to expend some of their pent up energy outdoors, where running, jumping, and playing are all encouraged. Students with less latent energy have more focus and tend to perform better in traditional classroom settings. Yet another way in which an outdoor classroom can complement in-class learning.
