With schools closed through May many of you have become the stay at home school room teacher for your children. To help you we would like to share some of our outdoor teaching activities you can do at home, in your backyard, or at a local park. Most of these are written for 3rd-6th grade, but I am sure you can adapt them for younger or older students. Good luck and remember we are all in this together and God is with us.
