Our Outdoor Environments are a special extension of our classrooms and we love to be outside as much as possible. During the winter months, the Outdoor Environments are still a very important part of our classrooms. Read on to learn more about what is happening outside at Greenspring.

Lower Elementary Outdoor Environment
In the fall, each Lower Elementary child planted cold-hardy vegetables including kale, cabbage, cauliflower, and lettuce. The children are excited to see which of the plants have made it through the cold months and they enjoy exploring ways to fortify their gardens from rabbits on campus.
This winter, small groups of Lower Elementary students toured the campus with Mr. John and had lessons on campus trees, such as the eastern white pine and magnolia, and learned about foliose, fruticose, and crustose lichen. They also had the opportunity to collaborate on baking gluten-free cornbread in the Emerson kitchen.
Ahead, the students are looking forward to lessons on botany, electricity, and morse code!
