For at least 10 years now,
Agents of the Earth Outdoor Education Program
have been providing outdoor
classroom encounters for students and educators. With forest, lake,
bog, and river habitats close at hand, opportunity for a diverse,
natural, learning experience is guaranteed. The benefits of "No Child
Left Inside" is actively promoted in a day at AOTE. All lessons are
linked to curriculum frameworks and benchmarks.
Please take the time to look over the photos below and see how fun and exciting a day in the woods can be. |

Forest Park 3rd Graders participate in a "NIMBY" simulation (not
in my back yard) where trash items need to be kept out of
one side of the court. The concepts for these active
lessons are renew, reduce, reuse, and recycle. |
Hiking in
a bog is a unique experience for many students. These 6th graders
not only learn about sphagnum moss and tamarack trees but understand
what it is like to explore a bog.

| Learning
to start a fire with one match is one of several skills presented in outdoor classes. |

to use a GPS has become a favorite request from educators who want
hands-on learning for their students.
