Susan has my vote!

The wonderful Megan Dreher of Asa and I chatted about outdoor schools and she pointed me to this article about a public school teacher in VT who takes her class outside for the whole day every Monday:

 She calls them Forest Mondays. Very inspiring to me, and a nice local model.

Great news!  Just another reason to get outside this summer!  Thanks for the interesting read. I just posted the results on my white board and told the kids to get outside this summer:)

Dear fellow parents,

I thought I would share two recent studies I recently read on the connection between green spaces and cognitive development in children.  The first two links lead to reports on the studies; the next two links lead to the research publications themselves.
