Lunch and Learn: Early Elementary Outdoor Education
Are you interested in Berwick Academy’s outdoor and diverse academic education in our Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 programs?
Remember that feeling of accomplishment and the thrill of doing something courageous as a child? Perhaps it was climbing trees, rock scrambling, digging deep holes in the dirt, or building forts with logs and branches. Research indicates that children thrive on taking safe-risks in play, especially while in nature. A balance of engaging outdoor play and academic experiences empowers children to thrive.
Join us for ‘Lunch and Learn: Early Elementary Outdoor Education’ on Thursday, November 19, at noon.
This virtual program includes a presentation and Q&A with our Lead Pre-K teacher Nancy Loftus and Lower School Director, Joel Hawes, where you’ll learn about:
- How adventurous activities help children gain confidence.
- The connections between gross motor skills and hiking.
- Collaboration and teamwork in outdoor play.
- How to observe and document nature with children.
- Our thoughtful balance of outdoor learning and academic experiences.
