Genesis Lara One day a week, each teacher at Emily Meschter Early Learning Center takes their lessons outdoors to a newly developed area of campus now called the Sonoran Classroom, where students are encouraged to engage with nature and learn more about their surrounding environment.

La Cholla Blvd., is part of Flowing Wells Unified School District and serves about 190 children ages 3 to 5. Jankowski said community members quickly stepped up last summer to help transform the area into an outdoor classroom, taking on duties such as clearing some of the desert brush, planting trees and creating the specific play areas out of repurposed materials.
As Collinsworth guided the way, he pointed out the difference between the regular playground at the center of campus and the outdoor classroom on the back end. A few minutes after shyly entering the outdoor classroom, two kids familiarly made their way to a hiking trail that community members had helped mark with rocks along the path. Jankowski said the kids often search for animal tracks and try to narrow down the kinds of species that walk through their outdoor classroom at night.
Cordova added that, inside their classroom, they have more mushrooms that grew from a plastic bag. Jankowski bought a kit to grow oyster mushrooms to teach students about the world of fungi.
