If there are any grade school teachers looking to do something similar, Mt Baldy School in Southern California is hiring!

how sad and ridiculous that the kids are being made to wear facemask
Comment from : @dannynorton601

Outdoor classrooms can foster a sense of community and collaboration They provide opportunities for group projects, teamwork, and social interaction in a natural and relaxed setting

Outdoor with masks 🙈What do children ‚learn‘ from this? 🙈🙈🙈
Comment from : @rhoenperle1

The kids would probably look forward to the next day I would
Comment from : @my_very_last_leaf

I can not believe in nature with a mask what a horrible thing to dobrpoor kids and what a brain wash can you get
Comment from : @Adri-rm6tk

love to see more forest schools in the world
Comment from : @forestcampclub

This looks incredible! I live in Oregon, and would love to see this more!
Comment from : @TheeColleeFlower

It's been demonstrated in studies that kids who do outdoor learning have better immunity What's usually not considered in that is how toxic many public buildings are
Comment from : @CharlotteMEllett

Outdoors and wearing masks Idiocracy Missing the forest for the trees
Comment from : @m2d2yes

Really, it's a wonderful modern method of outdoor learning & teaching kids, it helps them bring what they learnt as theories into real life
Comment from : @gratefulalways2742

interesting
Comment from : @emiliobello2538

My daughter teaches at one of these schools in WA State and she shares that this type of teaching is awesome Kids love it! Fresh air and sunshine all day
Comment from : @jeaniephillips4682

Maybe one thing they could teach first would be that it’s completely unnecessary to wear masks outdoors You are outside with fresh oxygen produced by the beautiful trees you are surrounded by BREATH IT IN Please follow actual science and model smart behavior not blind compliance and fear Other than that, beautiful learning environment
Comment from : @usefuldreamer4955

A lot gets done through the efforts of grassroots! Excellent idea I used to hate being cooped up inside classrooms! Hope more schools are open to the idea!
Comment from : @user-vm5ud4xw6n

I'm literally obsessed Being outside is so much more engaging, your brain is working more, it's more awake and happy and better focused Its probably cheaper than real schools too, cause you don't need to build, clean, upkeep, heat the building, meaning you could pay teachers more Have schools located in forests would also decrease forestry and teach kids a love for nature Why is the public education system not jumping on this
Comment from : @breee4093

Normal for many kids in Germany

children wearing masks oh dear
Comment from : @hannahfitzpatrick

Outside all day, but still making them wear masks 🤦🏼‍♀️
Comment from : @stillwatersfarm8499

This is awesome
Comment from : @ahutton49

As a teacher for one of these programs I can tell you it is strange how effective it is I really don't know why but you can tell a difference in engagement and retention
Comment from : @chrism82793

Thiss is what school should be!!! Turn to Reggio Emilia, Finland etc
Comment from : @ensambleconsultoriabarragan

So you are following the format that many homeschoolers have successfully used for years
Comment from : @jillwyzywany4980

Hooray! I’m so happy to see that you included Sharon Danks from Green Schoolyards America in this piece Their work to transform asphalt schoolyards into ecologically rich “parks” is so important
Comment from : @davidahrens2313

Reminds me of my home/outside school
Comment from : @MCeili

My nephews went to a public alternative forest school outside of Burlington, VT It’s been an option for kids for over a decade
Comment from : @bethgoldman2560

Forest schools are very popular in the UK Even some top boarding schools have a forest school that students have classes in some of the time It works really well with young children to keep them active and not stuck in a classroom
Comment from : @camerachica73

This is normal in Europe Children belong in the nature It‘s just soooo ridiculous that these poor kids who are outside in the fresh air cannot even enjoy it with the masks - that are for nothing anyway Oh wait, they symbolize something - how stupid we all are Forgive me, but literally they do not stop any spread of the virus What they are doing is spreading another sickness They maintain the mental trauma we are all willingly putting our children through Day after day after day Shame on us all!!! Our children will never be the same again
Comment from : @Rocketscientist66

I believe that this environment makes children more receptive to learning
Comment from : @beachbag8

Lots of outdoor options out there Tinkergarten is in so many 🇺🇲
Comment from : @mollypapazian4423

My kids would have loved this type of 'school' they were very active and needed lots of outdoor time which we were able to give them outside of school!!
Comment from : @pleinaire8698

Wonderful!!!
Comment from : @ireneclai578

Best kind of learning
Comment from : @michellestone1261

Students can not only learn from nature but also learn to appreciate and respect nature
Comment from : @keepruvthknight

Although it's not quite Outdoor Schools, I'm pretty biased towards Montessori learning Being outside and learning hands on has a great, positive effect on kids Why did we forget this when we become adults is beyond me
Comment from : @littleweirdprincess

I wonder if Oregon is as bad with mosquitoes in spring as Alaska They come at you in baseball-sized swarms
Comment from : @steveconn

I can't imagine how wonderfully this will effect these young students
Comment from : @Luv-x8k

Love & support this "new" methodology for children and adults alike! May it become part of the new American curriculum 🇺🇸❣
Comment from : @norathefish3338

omg I would had my kifs in this so fast
Comment from : @debbiecooper1677

Always a female teacher Boys are doing much worse at school than girls because of the feminization of education
Comment from : @gamingtonight1526

No piercing intercom No slamming lockers No administrators with check boxes Nice
Comment from : @AyakoTachi

Fake News
Comment from : @loafandjug321

I love this! This is such exciting news! I'm sooo happy for the children, there's wonder in all of the outdoors
Comment from : @terryfriend16

Sure takes me back to when I was with my class in the forest, but those were only Field Trips, from time to time
Comment from : @chrisfinch8637

Nature SO important! ☀️🌳🌲🦆🌿🍂🌦️🌬️🌼💦🐟🌱❄️🌾🍁
Comment from : @nightengale7163

Keep in mind for the cost of sending one child to Trackers Forest School you could buy a new Kia and have money left over They've also been accused of racist administration practices by community groups in Portland, Ore
Comment from : @c187rocks

According to Google search, there are 100 forest schools in the US That's a surprise!
Comment from : @karenreynolds7109

Sounds like Scouting to me!
Comment from : @amandaward3747

Kudos, I want my tax money to support this initiative don't want to give my money to send space ships to Mars
Comment from : @ivm7322

💚💚💚
Comment from : @louisianarainwater

Meanwhile in Finland, this is normal everyday learning
Comment from : @wickedvideowatcher

All learning should be started from nature
Comment from : @NewYork7914

Outdoor classrooms like these are amazing That the children are forced to wear masks like this OUTSIDE is absolutely ludicrous
Comment from : @CosmicCamera

I really, really want this to be the norm!
Comment from : @RealBradMiller

it's sad that this is considered different instead of the norm
Comment from : @meadpro

Kids in Chicago can have classes on the landfills, garbage dumps and lower wacker drive! Or learn how to repair crumbling houses Here’s a broom kid knock yourself out And for shop class we’re gonna replace the plywood with ACTUAL windows! Yay! Let’s learn how to be civilized and not sub human animals Yay!
Comment from : @jumanjiwarlord

As a kindergarten teacher in a public school today, I think this is awesome Kids need to move more and be outside
Comment from : @nenelady7049

Unfortunately, they don't talk about how much all of this costs Trackers is a school that only people from wealthy families can afford This is never going to be available for kids from underprivileged families
Comment from : @alexandranikolaeva876

This is great Wish this was a part of all schools
Comment from : @verican68

Teachers are cowardsbrTake off the stupid mask because they do not work
