TAKEMEOUTSIDEWEEK

This year marks the 17th anniversary of Take Me Outside Week at Bethune, and it’s a great opportunity to make use of our outdoor spaces. We have been using the Carr’s Corner, our outdoor classroom by the Commons.  

The Take Me Outside initiative continues to share excellent resources, lesson plans, and activities. The TDSB also has some resources to support learning outside, some of which are being implemented at Bethune.
