Life does not happen in a bubble and some of the greatest learning takes place not when a child walks into a classroom…but rather when a child walks out of it. There are an infinite amount of lessons outside just waiting to be discovered. The simple statement, “Ok children, let’s go outside,” immediately stirs children to action and ignites their sense of exploration.
