Outdoor classroom...Curiosity and Initiative!

The outdoors is such an interesting and dynamic environment that encourages children to engage in a continuous cycle of exploration! As you watch them, you can see how one experience leads to another; their curiosity prompts them to ask questions and their initiative leads them to investigate.

Today Hannah became very excited when she found a slug on the playground. Her excitement was contagious as her friends and classmates gathered around her to see and feel the wet slimy slug! The children all observed the slug for a while and decided to name it "Slimy the Slug".
