Writing outside

One of the exciting initiatives this year at school is the expectation to go outside everyday. We’ve been working together to think about what kinds of things we can do that doesn’t involve a whole lot of planning for teachers who aren’t comfortable to start getting outside.

My contribution was writing.  One of the things we can do anywhere is write, and so I’ve created a quick video about my students writing outside.  As you can see, some write along, some in groups, it’s just a way to get outside and start developing a sense of place (even if it’s not intentional).
