I am so excited to develop an outdoor classroom! COVID-19 was my inspiration to finally move forward with it. Today I am calling one of my administators to request that he walk around with me near the school forest to find an area to design my outdoor classroom. He is in charge of our school vegetable garden. I’d like to enhance this area by developing another garden-perhaps one that attracts birds and butterflies, as I’d like to teach about birds with the new knowledge I just gained.
The silver lining. I can’t wait to watch your progress!!! Very exciting.
I am so excited to begin this journey. Today I am taking a walk around my school campus with my administrators to find areas to start my outdoor classroom. I will definitely take footage of the area/areas we chose and send them.
Make sure you take pictures…as I am sure the spaces will change over time.
Good morning!
Just downloaded the checklist. I am ready to get going. This is exciting!
Awesome!
My name is Melissa Graham. I work for Desert Sun Counseling and resource centre in BC Canada. I am an early years facilitator and our program tries to engage parents and children in outdoor playtimes. We meet at different community parks but would one day like to create our own outdoor space.
Welcome!
Hello. Excited to put my journal together. I’m working through the take action worksheet. Do we need to submit these or just for our own use?
Great question. You do not need to submit any of the worksheets. They are for your own use. The only thing I need to see in order to receive the 15-hour participation certificate is your reflections in the comments. Looking forward.
I’m Michelle I’m excited about transforming our outdoor space.
Let the transformations begin!:)
Hi my name is Jaime L. I am excited and worried about this course. I think I will gain a lot of ideas to put into practice when the new center is built; however, right now we do not have a great outdoor space to complete an outdoor garden. The center is at a strip mall and the playground is in the parking lot.
Hello Jaime! Welcome! I am thrilled you are here. No worries that you are not at your new center yet. I hope you still find great ideas that you can adapt in your parking lot playground!Anything is possible! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello – My name is Julie and my husband and I are family daycare providers in West Bridgewater,MA. I met you, Victoria, at the SEEPP event in Plymouth a few weeks ago. I must say, your keynote address was wonderful. I am so glad I was there. with some grant writing deadlines met, I am ready to begin my e-course and add some new components to my outdoor classroom!
Welcome! Thank you for your kind words! I am thrilled you are here! 🙂
I appreciate your organization and clarity of purpose. This is enormously helpful to those on the start our own paths.
Thank you!
Abigail here – I am excited to get this process started!
Me too! Spring can’t come soon enough. FYI: Outdoor Classrooms are ever changing with so many new design ideas and nature-based teaching activities and wanted to let you know that I will be adding additional material as we go. Lot’s of goodness to share.
Found the worksheet ! I didn’t look further but I just did and now I see them 🙂 Baby is awake now so I’ll be back this evening !!
Yea! I remember the days well! Enjoy!
Hi 🙂
Looking at the checklist, I should
– Watch the video : Check
– Download the module 1 take actions worksheet : Can’t find them 🙁
– Introduce myself : My name is Chantal Cool. I’m from Moncton New-Brunswick and I am a grade 6 French Immersion teacher (presently on mat leave). I’m really interested in creating an outdoor classroom when I get back to work and this course seems the perfect way to get started !
Welcome!!! Thrilled that you are here and spending some of your maternity leave with us! I will make sure you have a link to the take action worksheets.
Colleen Smyth from Ontario, Canada, where a blizzard is taking over right now! Dreaming of how to enhance our outdoor learning space and garden.
