Sometimes, all it takes for a chance to learn is a space to gather together. Dedicated gathering spaces are great for outdoor class sessions, and they can double as play spaces during recess. Outdoor amphitheatres provide a more structured gathering environment. Casual seating like stump seats or logs can be added to an empty space for a place to sit, or a gathering space can simply left open. For outdoor sessions rain or shine, weather shelters can provide protection from the elements.
