Encourage regular use of outdoor space

The outdoor classroom is an opportunity for classes to get outside in all weather.

Tips:

  • If you are an educator who feels comfortable taking your class outside, invite other educators into your classroom so they can build their skills.
  • Purchase a set of portable chairs, build wooden benches, or make a set of class “sit-upons” (recycled-milk-bag mats or cut-up foam pads) so it is easy to go outside. Some schools use old tree stumps for seats.
  • Post an outdoor-classroom sign-up sheet online or in a central location such as the library.
