Juneau third grade teachers Geoffrey Wyatt and Ellen Canapary pose with their students in the forest on April 1, 2022.
“The very first time I ever took students out here, I had this little boy who was really, really quiet, and he started signaling for me to come over,” Wyatt said. “He’d found a little inch worm.”“That was the first time I saw that kids find things in the forest that really bring out their personalities,” Wyatt said.
“I started doing some research, and I found out that there’s so many benefits to bringing kids outside,” Wyatt said. “Kids tend to be happier, and it actually will improve reading and math scores.”
