Outdoor Classroom Day
On the day, thousands
of schools around the world take lessons outdoors and prioritize playtime and
learning through experience.
In 2019, over 3.5 million children worldwide took
part in this massive organization. As a part of a prestigious school with the aim of improving the quality of education we
carried out some outdoor activities so as to encourage and boost a better use
of existing resources for learning, and to enhance the environment within which
learning takes place.
We helped students to connect with nature, become more
active, learn outdoors and have fun. Our team
has worked tirelessly across the school to bring outdoor learning to as many students
as possible. I think it is really essential for each educator to see the key
milestones in this journey to raise new and savior generations. Experience in outdoor areas not only teaches
critical life skills such as time management, decision making, teamwork and
creativity, yet is central to children’s enjoyment of childhood and youth.
Our
9 Graders took part in a special letter-writing activity to celebrate this ravishing
day. What’s special about this activity? The letters they wrote will be
delivered to themselves in the future and the jar including our students’
letters will be opened 4 years later, in 2022 when they are about to graduate
from high school and get ready for their university education. While burying
the Dear Future Me Letters Jar, we wanted to have some fun and make the world a
greener, more environmentally-friendly place and we buried the jar with
exploding balls of seeds that are both fun to throw and an easy way to grow
native wildflowers.

everything better.” Albert Einstein
