Take Me Outside Day was amazing! We had a lot of fun.
During our morning block we learned the different directions (North, East, South, West), how to use a compass and follow coordinal directions that led us to the trail system at the bottom of the hill on Hartwell. There we explored a different wetland, animals that used the resource and the importance of moving water.
After recess we were joined by a personal friend of mine and Curriculum Consultant for Outdoor Education and headed to the pond just northeast of the school. Mrs. Murray taught us about Ephemeral Art and how important and beautiful our nature can be. Students worked in small groups or partners to create some wonderful masterpieces!
After lunch, students completed their math test. I'm hoping to have it marked and sent home by Friday... Fingers crossed!
I am participating in an Edsby workshop on Nov. 12, I will keep you informed of the changes after that.
