A school in upstate New York is trying something new: the kindergarten class is going to spend their days in the forest of Saratoga Spa State Park.

According to Capital News 9, the school made a deal with the park to hold most of the class outdoors in the park gardening, learning about the woods, and exploring the other wonders of the great outdoors. The children will still be engaged in standard instruction - just in a different setting.
