Toggling between screens and here we go, #kinderchat Q! 1 When we think of outdoor Ed, what's the first thing that comes to mind?

dubioseducator May 29 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1. Open ended student lead learning. Self initiated explore & discover #Kinderchat

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:16 PM EDT

So that sounds like it could be inside OR outside #kinderchat

In reply to @dubioseducator

Uustinaa May 29 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1. I think of exploring nature and spontaneous moments for learning and connecting with the environment #kinderchat

In reply to @KeeneeLou

Uustinaa May 29 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I also associate it more with student exploration than structured play #kinderchat

In reply to @dubioseducator

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Do you have the chance to do this in your school's environment? #kinderchat

we have a park nearby which is great! Unfortunately the school yard is mostly pavement #kinderchat

In reply to @KeeneeLou

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:22 PM EDT

I've been fortunate to teach at schools, both rural and urban, who have had great outdoor spaces #kinderchat

In reply to @Uustinaa

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Next question from @CarrieMarshall1 Q2 How often do we allow ourselves time to spend outside. Not with school, but on our own? #kinderchat

Uustinaa May 29 @ 9:24 PM EDT

it makes a difference! outdoor sensory experiences are important #kinderchat

A2: I love to be outdoors. As a camp counsellor, I was hardly ever indoors for 12 summers. Even slept on my cabin porch ea night #Kinderchat

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A2 I walk to school and get to begin and end my school day in the outdoors! #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

happycampergirl - Moderator May 29 @ 9:27 PM EDT

It felt weird to come home in the fall and sleep inside. walls felt weird, #Kinderchat

Uustinaa May 29 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A2. Biking is somthing that I've always loved (no music) and I've just gotten into hiking #kinderchat

dubioseducator May 29 @ 9:27 PM EDT

My school smack in the middle of urban community. So outdoor spaces purposefully designed #kinderchat

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Fantastic! #kinderchat

Oh whoops forgot about #kinderchat tonight. Memorial Day holiday brain!

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Hi Kathryn! We're talking about outdoor ed tonight! #kinderchat

In reply to @katnish16

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Q3. Do you think our excitement/reluctance to be outdoors impacts our desire to take our Ss out? #kinderchat

dubioseducator May 29 @ 9:31 PM EDT

We have 3year old yard as well and two outdoor roof spaces but mostly used by PE. No sand and stuff there #kinderchat

In reply to @KeeneeLou

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3 I have worked on this! #allergies #kinderchat

katnish16 May 29 @ 9:32 PM EDT

I've been known to extend recesses on nice days just because I didn't want to be inside #kinderchat

In reply to @KeeneeLou

Uustinaa May 29 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3. For sure! We are models and influencers as teachers #kinderchat

In reply to @KeeneeLou

dubioseducator May 29 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A2 I enjoy walking around my neighborhood & sitting on my front porch. Beach time when grandkids visit & field trips #kinderchat

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:35 PM EDT

We have an impact, inside and outside of our classroom walls! #kinderchat

Uustinaa May 29 @ 9:33 PM EDT

dubioseducator May 29 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A3 The messiness maybe influence/reluctance but I see the value more & more w/new perspective as a sub #kinderchat

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:37 PM EDT

Here is the next #kinderchat Q4. Have any of us taken a day to just be outside with our Ss? Not recess, but an extended time?

dubioseducator May 29 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4 something that needs to be coordinated with classes. Space is shared by many. #kinderchat But I have, just because

In reply to @KeeneeLou

Uustinaa May 29 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4. Yes, usually for structured play though like parachute play sometimes exploration though #kinderchat

In reply to @KeeneeLou

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4 Sat outside with journals and with our read aloud novel on nice days and we've gone for a walk in our beautiful playground #kinderchat

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:42 PM EDT

We were at the zoo last week. We go without papers, pencils, or "work". We explore in small groups! #kinderchat

In reply to @katnish16

katnish16 May 29 @ 9:43 PM EDT

My class is a small group. We also go with no agenda or "work" #Kinderchat

In reply to @KeeneeLou

happycampergirl - Moderator May 29 @ 9:44 PM EDT

I have sometimes wondered - if I took a group out & just let them play - how long until they notice we've been out A LONG TIME? #Kinderchat

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:44 PM EDT

When I taught G1, I used to have clipboards and make them fill out stuff! I've learned! #kinderchat

dubioseducator May 29 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A5 takeaways: kids learners when they're doers. collaborative play, language, problem solvers develop as they explore & wonder #kinderchat

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Uustinaa May 29 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A5. I've learned from the kids how to be mindful and notice details with my senses #kinderchat

In reply to @KeeneeLou, @CarrieMarshall1

happycampergirl - Moderator May 29 @ 9:51 PM EDT

My most impt outdoor learning: just go outdoors. You'll feel better. True for kids, dogs, me. #Kinderchat

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Q6 Okay, #kinderchat friends, what outdoor plans do you have for kids this week or for the rest of the year?

happycampergirl - Moderator May 29 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6: Not this year, but: some day, I would love our spring concerts to take place outside! #Kinderchat

KeeneeLou May 29 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Wow, that would be cool! Would your music peeps agree?! #kinderchat

In reply to @happycampergirl

happycampergirl - Moderator May 29 @ 9:57 PM EDT

With an indoor backup plan, of course. #AlbertaWeather #kinderchat
