Let's take a look at the outdoor classroom and the endless amount of learning that takes place. This video is called "Learning Outside the Box." When we think beyond the classroom we can really encourage more learning to occur when we give things a chance. This project was done from a small idea to fix the playground. These educators used their community to help build an outdoor classroom.

WHY EXTEND OUTDOOR PLAY?
Why do children get so excited to go outside to play? Why do children seem more sociable when they enter the outside playground?
I believe that children feel comfortable and free to explore their environment when they have space. Being outside allows children to be exposed to natural materials that permit learning. Children can socially construct their own theories and knowledge through the outside environment.
This blog will show you a range of different ways the outdoor classroom benefits a child and the learning that takes place.
