In the few short weeks of this school year, I have already seen a difference in my students after participating in ECO. Kids who were reluctant to learn and be outside for long periods of time have been able to cooperate in tasks and common play activities. They have begun to build independence by thinking ahead about what they will need (a snack, water, sweatshirt, etc.), and have the responsibility of packing it and carrying it with them. During a math activity, students were creative about finding 20 of the same objects. A literacy activity included using the five senses to write about what learners notice while out in nature, along with regular sit-spot journal time. In the first outing, some students seemed unsure about what to do outside during free choice time. By the third week, those same students were in goldenrod plants taller than themselves, building forts, creating imaginary play schemes that included a bear cave, secret passageways, and “survival skills”. On the way back into our school building, after a two-hour session outside, one of my most reluctant learners commented, “I want to go back out to ECO again!”
