  • TWTBIM_0117 Getting Outside
    Ross hopes more teachers can tap into a "yes" mentality and get children outside.  Joey wants to talk about individual differences in responding to temperature and outdoor gear.

Everyone agrees: spending time outdoors offers children experiences they can't have indoors and the chance to learn things that no weather chart could ever teach.
