  1. Kudos for pulling this together so quickly — – well done PEEC! I’m happy to share – – this will really help lots of folks who have kids at home, methinks (at least, I hope so!).

    1. Thanks so much, Tiffany! It’s been fun and we hope people have been enjoying it. Please share your experiences with us if you’re participating!

  2. This idea is so awesome. Thank you so much for the challenges and craft ideas. I am taking care of my grandson and this gives us something new to look forward to each day. You guys are fantastic!!!

  3. We are adjusting to our current, extremely busy schedule of two parents working from home while also homeschooling a 6 and 8 year old. Our family is incorporating these “take it outside” challenges into our afternoon recess time aka outdoor exploration and science time. I love that each challenge has a skill level so the activity can be adjusted for various ages. The “take it outside” challenges enable us to quickly have a starting point for a science lesson plan while also exploring the outdoors. Thank you PEEC for adapting to these (at least for us) unprecedented times. Keep up the great work!

  4. WOW! “Take it Outside” has been such a great resource for my students and I! We are overjoyed to know that we can still learn about and participate in water-related activities this week, despite the cancellation of the always wonderful “Water Festival”. Thank you PEEC for all your hard work and for encouraging my students and I to get outside, explore, and learn great new things about nature each week! We truly appreciate it! -Ms. Lopez, 4th Grade Teacher, Barranca Mesa Elementary
