As schools begin again across Alabama,most students are returning to days spent in indoor classrooms,but some will continue to learn and play outside,even while at school.It's part of a growing movement to teach kids in nature and help them connect with their environment. In recent years,at least three nature preschools,or forest schools,have been opened across Alabama.They operate almost entirely outside.In these forest schools,students gain knowledge from every activity.The class might discover a turtle walking along the forest floor at the Kreher Preserve Nature Center,where the school is located.That offers an opportunity for students to talk about the animal's shape and color,and write about their discovery. After starting Woodland Wonders in 2019,Gates said word spread quickly.The school has since added classes and programs for older kids,but they can't keep up with demand.It's a similar case at Little Mountain Forest School,where kids learn and play at Monte Sano State Park. Co-founder Beth Barry said that both kids and parents love the natural space. Fellow co-founder and co-director Sarah Callaway said the most common question is about the weather.They spend a lot of time reviewing proper clothing,because students are outside rain 第3页共8页 or shine."As a forest school parent,it can be a pain in the behind to have to deal with your muddy and wet kid,"Callaway said."But the kids love it.Those are some of the best days." 8.What can we learn about the summer program Gross Out Camp?
