Exploring Outside to Explore Inside: Social-Emotional Learning in Nature
I believe that a successful and positive outdoor program starts exactly how we begin any indoor classroom practice – with routines, expectations, and supports. To nurture our own self-awareness and self-management skills, we will explore a variety of activities such as bird language skits, basic tracking skills, and scavenger hunts. After all, when we understand natures rhythms, it is easier to feel safe and comfortable when learning and playing in an outdoor classroom.
