Reading the Landscape: Early Literacy in the Outdoor Classroom

From Liz Hanson

Students used knowledge of long vowels, digraphs, and blends and wrote descriptive sentences with adjectives and prepositional phrases. 

From Claire Biolo 

Ms. Biolo's class read the book "What Can You Do With A Rock?" and then went outside to find their "perfect" rock. They are painting them, and will continue to classify, even after they are art.
