East Chambers has joined a growing number of schools that have created an outdoor classroom. The project started in 2009 under the leadership of Vicki Bauer. Each campus participated in scheduled workdays and successfully planted native trees, plants, and constructed seating areas throughout the site.
Mrs. Sarah Otto continued to lead the project as she became principal of the elementary campus. Her leadership supports the teachers as they take their students out to discover and enjoy nature. Children are naturally curious and the outdoor discovery center allows them a great opportunity for inquiry.
The purpose of this blog is to keep everyone informed of what the outdoor discovery center is about and how the students are using it. Teachers can add to this blog as they investigate the great outdoors with their students and community members are encouraged to participate by sharing ideas, suggestions, or becoming a reference.
A sincere appreciation goes out to the many individuals that made this worthy endeavor a reality.
