Mountain Road Preschool
We continue to use our outdoor classroom in ways that help the children explore their senses, foster creativity, and explore nature. We have added many new elements in our outdoor classroom to provide the children with spaces for building, music and movement, gardening, science exploration, and dramatic play.
This year I had a beautiful, shaded space the was not being utilized to its fullest potential. In asking the children for suggestions for how to use the space, they came up with a potion making area. With that though I went straight away with building a versatile space to accommodate different interest specific areas. We came up with the Potion making area for the summer and when it was too cold to play in the water we turned the space into a block building area. This space can be changed into many different interesting areas, and we are looking forward to what the children dream of next.
The children are already planning our garden for this coming spring and looking to expand the raised beds. We are planning to expand the dramatic play area as well and hoping to add another house to the space.
