OUTSIDECLASSROOM
Beyond the Classroom
Children are learning everywhere, and all the time, and they need a variety of learning experiences to fullydevelop. In our Outside Classroom, our students are growing in many areas such as gross and fine motordevelopment, social-emotional development, and creative expression. Our outside classroom offers physical, cognitive and psychological benefits to our students. It also teachesour students a better appreciation of nature and the environment, and increases their physical development,capabilities, and activities.. Through projects and group activities our outside classroom supports stronger language, problem-solving,and communication skills. In the outside classroom environment our students develop an interest in scienceand math by connecting with nature. Outside-learning fosters learning through self-initiation, control andpersonal responsibility. Students who learn outside are happier, have higher self-esteem, and buildrelationships more effectively when they are in a cooperative, non-competitive setting. St. Rita School's outside classroom fosters strong stewardship skills for the environment. This learninginspires student appreciation for nature, and encourages their interest in the world around them. This greaterlearning reaches beyond our community and has a global impact, as well.
