March is Outdoor Classroom Month:
Be an Outdoor Classroom Hero
The school administration has designated March 2019 as Outdoor Classroom Month at Manatee, to better utilize the outdoor classroom space. There is a new seating area made from large oak stumps –try sitting around the semi-circle as a class to learn in a natural setting!
Who: Our goal is for every class and grade level to participate! One participating class will be randomly selected to win a healthy treat for the whole class.
What: Teach a lesson outside this month. Read a story, teach a math concept, study the butterflies, draw the flowers, conduct a science experiment, the possibilities are endless. See www.outdoorclassroomday.com/resources/lesson-ideas/ for inspiration and ideas by age and subject.
When: Anytime during March. A signup calendar is available: http://manatee.sp.brevardschools.org/TeacherHome/Lists/Manatee%20Meadow%20Sign%20Up%20Calendar/calendar.aspx
Where: Manatee Meadow Outdoor Classroom
Share: When you complete your lesson, share your experience. Fun comic-style speech bubbles will be provided in mailboxes next week. Turn in completed bubbles to the Green Committee mailbox. A poster of all the classes’ notes will be showcased in the lobby. Share how your students are Outdoor Classroom Heroes!
*Special note: Since this is a natural setting with pesky insects, please use caution for children with allergies.
