To combat the coronavirus, schools across America moved students outdoors. Here is a look at four new learning environments.

That is the thing that a school day resembles this year in one network on Cape Cod, where each understudy currently spends at any rate some portion of the day adapting outside — at any rate when the downpour holds off. Looking for approaches to educate securely during the pandemic, schools over the United States have grasped classes in the outside, as Americans did during sickness flare-ups a century back.
The endeavors to toss tents over play areas and mastermind work areas in parks and parking garages have carried new life to outside instruction development, enlivened to a limited extent by Scandinavian "woods schools" where kids wrap facing cold temperatures for long frolics in the day off.
"The outside gives considerably more adaptability," said Sharon Danks, the CEO of Green Schoolyards America and the organizer of the National Covid-19 Outdoor Learning Initiative, which shaped in May. "You can have a six-foot-separated seating graph, and have enough space to move around." While a few instructors recoiled from the expenses and calculated obstacles, others grasped the thought, with educators learning carpentry to construct their own open air study halls, and guardians fund-raising and hitting up nearby organizations for amble.
"Coronavirus has hurried the movement of a move toward attempting to exploit the outside," said Maria Libby, the director of the Five Town Community School District in Rockport, Maine, who purchased tents and Adirondack seats for open air homerooms. Here is a glance at four American schools where understudies are learning in the outdoors, and where probably a few guardians and instructors trust that the brief measures may get lasting, however long the climate coordinates.
