One of the wonderful advantages that I have in working where I do is the fact that I get to see innovations in education all the time! Our elementary school hosts a wonderful outdoor science program! Last week we opened our new "playspot" filled with wonderful outdoor activities that promote students to play OUTSIDE and enjoy the sun, weather and most importantly the exercise. Through the nation there is a campaign titled "No Child Left Inside". Having grown up in Miami, I know how much of a needed motivation this is... Hope you enjoy the photos of opening day!
