We’re breaking ground on our Rain Garden and outdoor classroom. What are your experiences teaching in such a setting?

    Hello Mike,

    I wanted to share some insights from my experience teaching in a school with an outdoor classroom. It's essential to ensure that students stay hydrated during their outdoor activities. I recommend requiring students to bring water bottles or, if possible, installing a water refilling station to make hydration more accessible. Having both options would be even better to encourage them to stay cool and hydrated throughout the day.

    Additionally, if your school has the budget, you might consider the installation of misters to help keep the area comfortable during hot days. This could enhance the outdoor learning experience significantly. Another idea is to designate a specific space for S.T.E.M. agriculture, which could provide students with hands-on learning opportunities while engaging them with nature.

    Let me know if you'd like to discuss these suggestions further.

    Best regards
