Sticks & Stones-synchronous online

Children are often drawn to sticks, rocks, shooting activities and big body play.  This training will engage participants in discovering the developmental nature and value of these behaviors.  We'll review NAEYC recommendations about active outdoor play and ways to say yes to these behaviors and items in a classroom setting.  Teacher perspectives will be examined and we'll discuss how working outdoors with children and finding ways to be responsive to the natural behavior and pivot those to enhance learning.
