Our PTA sponsors "Science Programs" every year. We've had aquariums and naturalists visit the school to give presentations. But I was thinking $1000+ could provide a whole lot of ongoing science learning opportunities (rather than a one-time thing) for the whole year - especially in California. I'll have to check the link to see HOW to start it and keep it going. Or maybe you have some suggestions? .-= Michele´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.funorangecountyparks.com/2010/03/nature-scene-investigators-nsi.html" rel="nofollow">Nature Scene Investigators (NSI): On A Not-So-Secret Mission to Get Families Outdoors</a> =-.

No one could believe their eyes when these 10 year olds were running around the school yard joyfully eating radishes! Gardens are a great format for all sorts of outdoor learning! when I taught 3rd grade we made some VERY SMALL raised beds in the corner of the school yard.

We are so fortunate to have an amazing school garden at my son's elementary. The best part is that not only are there beds for planting, there are plenty of wild spaces too, including plants to attract bees and butterflies. I love talking to my kids about why bugs are such an important part of nature. .-= Debi´s last blog ..<a href="http://goexplorenature.blogspot.com/2010/03/5-ways-to-explore-nature-with-kids-in.html" rel="nofollow">5 Ways to Explore Nature With Kids in Oahu</a> =-.

There should be a place for nature in every school-the benefits are ENORMOUS!!! Outdoor classrooms should be an integral part of children's daily learning. Thanks for shouting about it!!!
