In the video there is evidence that the students are spending half of everyday outside no matter what the weather conditions are this contributes to the learning of the children because they are learning to explore nature, they are able to breath clean air and they are able to have fun, run, touch and see things that spark interest in their learning. Although they are not working with worksheets or have anything in particular these students are able to learn from the outside, in the video it was clear that the students were engaged in touching the water the sand and many other materials found in nature. From the video I was capable of seeing that being outside is important to these students, here is where they can develop sense of freedom and …show more content…
This approach allows the students to have fun, and explore and as a result they are learning. I also think this motto different then the United States motto because it allows for students to have input in their learning, it seems that using this motto the teachers choices can easily be explained going outside for example is an adventure, the students are discovering rocks, sand and water, they are also being challenged to explore even if it isn’t said directly. From watching the video I think this motto is superb and really works out both presently for the students and in the future when these students are old enough to understand language as it is written. Now with regards to preschool classrooms in the United States what I find to be the same is play time, I think that in both Sweden and the United States there is an emphasis on learning through play however, in the United States students are expected to be able to write their names, know their alphabets, some numbers and other material related to cognitive learning. Which is very different than Sweden where they have more of an emphasis on social
Scott McClintock chooses Maplewood Richmond Heights Middle school because the garden in this school did so well that they make another garden. So Scott must of think those students in this school like garden so he created a program for students to go outside and explore. He starts by building garden and stuff for students to learn.

The more children interact with nature, the more they tend to know about it, and learn to care about it. The river curriculum might be an effective tool among children for preserving and protecting the river from causing further harm and being extinct, As children plant trees in the bank of the river, or tour sewage plant, they tend to be more familiar
Teachers don’t have to rush through material, and as a result, students don’t feel pressure to be first, to be the fastest. Students don’t fall behind simply because they need a little more time to figure a problem out. That part left me feeling a bit
Breiner’s tries to prove is the movement that children need involvements in nature for health issues yet, they have fewer contact to nature than the former peers. In this argument she proves how school yards take effect in any children’s life in order to help them propagate. The evidence she stated to prove her argument was based on quotes she found from other individuals. She starts her argument by stating that children don’t have
Children are not experiencing the outdoors the way they used to. It used to be that children would look out the window at the world when they went on road trips but now they are constantly absorbed by their electronic devices. The Last Child in the Wood by Richard Louv is making a very strong argument on this topic. Richard Louv is concerned with making sure children make the same connections about nature that many generations have made before them. In this piece Louv used rhetorical questioning to draw attention to his most crucial points.
Early 1900s Sweden was caught up in Napoleonic Wars. Made alliance with Britain, RUssia, and Austria in 1805 but two years later Russia pulled away from the alliance by signing a peace treaty in favor of the Danish invasion of Finland, part of Sweden’s realm. All of Sweden was extremely embarrassed when they were forced to surrender the Aland Islands to Russia and Finland. Later though in 1814 Sweden was in the process of expanding its territory and ended up defeating the Danish troops and united with Norway until 1905.
On page 126, she talks about her own childhood, saying, “I grew up in south Florida, and I swam or biked with my friends after school until our mothers called us in for dinner. Spending free time outdoors on our own inspired our creativity and boosted our curiosity.” She brought up this short memory when talking about the need for children to be active during the school day to improve their academic performance. By explaining the benefits she gained from physical activity as a child, she is reinforcing her argument that children need recess and gym class through the logic that if it worked then, it will work now. Playing outside as a child is also an event that many readers can likely relate to, which will allow them to apply their own experiences to this logic and further reinforce the claim.

Froebel’s system allowed children to compare, test and explore. His philosophy also consisted of four basic components which were free self activity, Creativity, Social participation and Motor expression. His approach became known internationally over the years and is a well established part of the school system in America as well as many other parts of the world including Chile, Australia, Britain and New Zealand.

I think that the physical environment can play a major role in a child’s learning. If the classroom is very closed off and blocked the children will not feel free to explore their surrounding and become more independent. Ms. Laura’s classroom is very open and spaced out, even though the center itself is built with an open concept and only having half walls to divide the classrooms. She has organized the room in such a way that every though the different centers are clearly laid out, it’s not in such a way that makes them feel enclosed and blocked off from the rest of the room. The environment offers children a variety of different choices all in one area, all of the math, science, and table toys are together, so that a child does not have to search the entire room for something that they are looking for.
The environment becomes very important to a child as those experiences will reflect as they get
