From screen time to GREEN TIME!

Now that we are reconnecting @school again,  it’s time to reignite the playful spirit we held in childhood and explore the affordances of BEING OUTSIDE and learning together/apart.  One of my favourite sites is Megan Zeni’s, particularly Playful Learning Outside in June and her 10 Tips for Teaching Outside.  Here  you can also view a PADLET with many wonderful SEL/Outdoor cross curricular activities and project possibilities.

Thanks  also to Kristina Carley, who is our local B.Outside Environmental Educators Association (EEPSA) President, for compiling the following fantastic outdoor resources: EEPSA Weekly Teaching Tips
