Week Two at the Outdoor Classroom


The Outdoor Classroom hosted students from Nursery School through High School! Highlights: 11th and 12th graders had the objective of exploring patterns, periodic functions, waves. Students explored the space and found patterns. They also took time to draw periodic functions. 

5th grade science (3 classes) students documented details of the space with words and objective evidence, they noted scale, focused on the area along creek and SW walls.  

Buddy Group N4 (Movrich) and 2nd Grade (Mahrino) noticed that "when you tap on a rock the tadpoles come out."  Other sightings: snails,crickets, grasshoppers, bugs with wings. 

Bloom and Mitzenbacher (5th grade) had the objective of learning what it means to be both "outdoors" and "in a classroom."  What can we learn from our surroundings?  Students also had a notebook exercise that asked the students to "think like a scientist and think like an artist."

Mandel and Dodds classroom shared the space to work on the concept of becoming friends with new people and places.
