It was perfect that Lag B'Omer and Global Outdoor Classroom Day fell on the same day this year! We had a blast and spend the majority of the day outside! Water play, gross motor activities, planting in the garden, picnics, and s'mores made for a really fun day.
Outdoor Classroom Day is a global movement to inspire and celebrate outdoor play and learning, at home and at school. On Outdoor Classroom Day itself, which has two dates each year, teachers celebrate with a special day outdoors for their class.
Children are spending less time outdoors than ever before and this is affecting their health, wellbeing and development. Time outdoors – on Outdoor Classroom Day and every day – will make children happier and healthier, as well as equipping them with the skills they need for life.
