Outdoor Adventures

Abstract:

This chapter offered 13 big suggestions on outdoor activities that you could do. The activities offered could really work for an integrated classroom outside activity, because more than one subject can be worked into each activity. Some of these activities pulled in art and drama as well. The chapter also gives you a sample letter to Parents, which is really nice to include!

Reflection:

I loved the Civil War reenactment and the Freedom trail ideas. I think that they'd be great with Middle School kids. The Service Project idea is like what they did in the book that my group just read. I liked that it even gave math and english assignments. This way if you made a whole day adventure out of a field trip somewhere you could have alternating group activities with the different classroom teachers.
