Schools seeking alternatives to remote learning during the coronavirus pandemic are moving classes outside.
"In the spirit of innovation, you can't blame folks for putting everything on the table and certainly giving it their best shot, but I just don't know how realistic it is," Wilson said."In theory, anything is possible but let's concentrate on doing this the right way, the safe way."
Rebain drew up plans for the structures, which will be open on three sides and have one"teaching wall" to hang a chalkboard or other materials. The school hasn't decided whether the structures will have wooden floors or mulch, or whether they'll have canvas walls that can be rolled down to block rain, wind or sun, he said."There's still a lot of head-scratching as we figure things out.
The school isn't planning to hold classes exclusively outside, said Ben Linstrom, a teacher who chairs the school's health and safety committee. But students will be dropped off in the morning at their outdoor classrooms. If they need to go inside because of the weather or to use the bathroom, classes can stagger their trips so not everyone is in the hallways at once, he said.
In Vermont, the White River Valley Middle School is planning a hybrid model in which students will learn from home three days a week and come to class inon the other two days — at least until Thanksgiving, Principal Owen Bradley said.
