Shout-out to the pigeons and house sparrows, whose guest appearances at our outdoor lessons on birds and ecosystems are making things really come alive this morning. #UrbanBirds #ThisIsOutdoorLearning @UrbanAdvSquad @CornellBirds #Ward7

On Monday, #SquadMembers learned about the many ways the Nacotchtank relied on trees in and around Rock Creek Park. We spent Indigenous Peoples' Day learning and playing under those trees. #SquadMembers identified over 12 species! #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #CityAsAClassroom

Birds, books, binoculars—this is what donors are doing for us as we go back to school! Thank you to Suzanne, Jenn, and Jenni, and to the anonymous donor who is a steady support in helping us keep students highly engaged, off of screens, and #OUTDOORS! #ThisIsOutdoorLearning

It's our "Planting Seeds of Action in Your Urban Ecosystem" week at @WashYouthGarden at the @fonarboretum. #SquadMembers went on a plant scavenger hunt in Fern Valley today to understand how native plants support our local ecosystem. 🌱 #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #CityAsAClassroom

#JuniorRangerAdventureSquad conducted a frog study. #SquadMembers caught & studied specimens to explore the frog life cycle & practice species ID at @KenAqGardens 🐸🐸🐸 #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #EquitableOutdoorLearning #CityAsAClassroom

Check out these aquatic plant models! #SquadMembers created their models using foam sheets to mimic the hydrophobic leaves we've observed. Then they tested them in a pond simulation. @KenAqGardens #JuniorRangerAdventureSquad #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #CityAsAClassroom

Sat, 6/15, join @UrbanAdvSquad at the Children's Book & Learning Festival, 10am-5pm. Reagan building plaza. Downtown DC. Create replicas of DC species--birds, trees, bats, river otters. Join ~11:45 for a round of Name That Bird! 🦅🐦🦉 #SquadLife #Outdoors #ThisIsOutdoorLearning

It’s shaping up to be an exciting day! We’re taking some inspo from our friends @caseytrees after we received some generosity from neighbors, and we’re planting native plants, incl. a redbud tree, @ Breakthrough Montessori. #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #Plants #Trees #OutdoorEducation

Oh yes we will! And we’ll chat about adapting for weather so that students and teachers can get outside—safely and comfortably—all year round, including in a changing climate. #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #EquitableOutdoorLearning

I’m going to check in with the Squad’s resident local history expert, Christy Brock. #ThisIsOutdoorLearning

Standard text exchange among @UrbanAdvSquad staff: “I’ll be there in 15 minutes.” “Ok, come around back, we’re looking for tadpoles.” #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #SpringBreak2024 @KenAqGardens

TURTLE POWER! Spring break at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens means a daily 🐢 count of 40+! Thank you to Shannah from @KenAqGardens for leading pond dipping, which allowed us to observe dragonfly nymphs, small fish, & arthropods up close. #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #CityAsAClassroom

Let’s goooooo! If you haven’t taken a boat ride on the Anacostia river, now is the time. It’s an amazing experience, and you might just spot a river otter. #ThisIsOutdoorLearning

It’s not a time to stay inside! #ClimateChangeEducation is essential to helping children understand, adapt, & grow into adults who are ready to engage and find solutions. (3/3) @CaseyTrees @NatlParkService @dcpublicschools @dcpcsb @DCSBOE @councilofdc #ThisIsOutdoorLearning

Gotta catch em all! When school was closed last Friday, #SquadMembers practiced winter tree ID by using Pokemon-inspired cards to look at bark, buds, and twigs. #SchoolsOutSquadsIn #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #CityAsAClassroom #EquitableOutdoorLearning

“I remember you from last time. We talked about trees and bark.” 😭😭 #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #EquitableOutdoorLearning @dcpublicschools @urbanadvsquad

There is so much to observe during our winter #OutdoorLearning programs! Texture, color, and life are bursting forth from the soil to the tree tops. What have you witnessed on your own winter adventures? #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #CityAsAClassroom

After a field investigation at @WNCathedral, #SquadMembers created their own gargoyles and grotesques when DCPS was closed on Friday. Check out these fantastic designs! #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #EquitableOutdoorLearning #CityAsAClassroom

I needed to make a quick stop to drop off/pick up supplies at the office. The office: @KenAqGardens #MagicalPlaces #Ward7 #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #OutdoorEducation #Nonprofits

#ThisIsOutdoorLearning During our Introductory Wilderness Survival Skills program, children navigate using compasses, learn to tie useful knots, and practice different firebuilding techniques. What's your favorite wilderness skill?

Hyperlocal lesson plan on lifecycles + ecosystem: dandelions! Observe leaves, flower (yellow) & seed head (white/fluffy) in one place. Dandelions=food for 🐝🐝, other #pollinators. Reducing lawn-mowing supports our food supply. #NearbyNature #ThisIsOutdoorLearning @UrbanAdvSquad

Let your employers, schools & elected officials know how essential it is for us to safely enjoy our school grounds, greenspaces & waterways, and for children to have #EquitableOutdoorLearning opportunities in every #PublicSchool. @UrbanAdvSquad #ThisIsOutdoorLearning (4/4)

The magic of #trees is year-round. Don’t wait til spring to get outside and explore! Every tree is an ecosystem that contains at least 5 lesson plans. @UrbanAdvSquad #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #GoldenHour #Trees #LookUp

What real ecosystems or fictional universes do you imagine or think about when you explore your neighborhood? This week at the Squad, we’re creating decorative, 3-D maps that tell a story of a world we see or imagine. #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #CityAsAClassroom #OutdoorClassroom

Our mapmaking and fiber crafts week has come to a close. Check out these works of art! #ThisIsOutdoorLearning #CityAsAClassroom
