Meet Hannah French, fourth grade teacher at Rowe Elementary School in Western Massachusetts. Hannah utilizes the woodland area around her school for place-based learning, and has moved many of her classes outdoors.  There, students engage in location-specific challenges, journaling, and free play, all while becoming more familiar with the natural area around them.
