"CAVES" IN THE NATURAL WORLD



 In the outdoor classroom, it is important for educators to provide and allow children to have quiet space and a place they can have privacy. This is a great area for children to take time out for themselves. This is an area for children to develop their self-regulation skills. This can be done by learning that when they are feeling; angry, frustrated, or sad, there is a place for them to go where they know they can calm themselves down.   As well,this can be a place for educators to foster literacy development. Thornburg's approach involves caves, campfires and water holes.
