McGinnis Woods Country Day School
We love out Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom! Each year our students and teaching team relish the times that they can spend outside walking a trail, exploring our creek, identifying animal prints, or just reading amongst the plants and wildflowers.
They love collecting leaves to identify and adopting trees to visit and illustrate during each season. Their love of time spent in nature has also inspired them to grow and plant more flowers in our green house and raised beds and and work to protect our beautiful environment. They even enjoy celebrating birthdays out in our Outdoor Classroom!
Our Green Team, which is comprised of 2nd and 3rd graders, has grown from 12 to 28 and more and more of our students are working to stomp out pollution and consistently support our school’s recycling program.
Each year we celebrate Earth Day and our Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom is always featured in some way. This past April our middle schoolers tested the water in our creek for its ph level and overall health. Learning outside the classroom walls and embracing nature makes each day extra special.
