On Outdoor Experience and Environmental Values

By-ANDREW C. REVKIN

A New York Times article written by a favorite author of mine, Andrew C. Revkin, that I thought some of you might enjoy:

Enjoy and consider sharing what you think of this article. As I read this I found myself wondering how can I get my 4th graders outdoors more especially with lovely fall weather approaching and all the wonderful changes that go along with it. We begin our year with a science unit on Maine soils. That's just got to be enough reason to get outside with the kids.
