My guest Victoria Hackett has a passion for outdoor classrooms which began when her own children were small. She tells about the outdoor classroom garden she created at their elementary school and other ways that she helped her own children learn outside when they were younger. Now Victoria hosts the Outdoor Classrooms Podcast where she interviews outdoor educators from around the country about their programs. Even if you don't plan to enroll your child in an outdoor school, you will hear ideas for how to spend more time with your family outside with a focus on learning as well as play. If you teach young children, you will be inspired to take some of your lessons outside. Find out more about how to connect with outdoor educators in an online group called The Circle and The Outdoor Classrooms Teacher Certification Program at www.outdoorclassrooms.com
