CBC news covers
a contest that is called, "Trees of Knowledge." The school that won
received $20,000 to build an outdoor classroom. The companies that funded this
contest are Majesta and Tree Canada. They saw the value in having an outdoor
classroom for children to learn about science and math but also to extend their
learning into other areas of development. The importance of learning outdoors
needs to be addressed because it benefits the child as a whole.
In today's
world, more children are learning through their technology than learning with
concrete materials. It is important that we don't forget about educating
children with hands-on experiences.
Children want to be outdoors more! Take a look at this inspiring video:
The Majesta company continues to hold competitions each year to donate money to schools to create an outdoor classroom. Check out this video of the schools that have received this donation to build an outdoor classroom.
