Our Great Big Outdoor Adventure Pt. 1

Well, it might have been a rainy day but we sure made the best of it!

We started our morning by singing O'Canada around the Canada flag.


Then we did our sign-in on our "Nature Smartboard."

The question today was "What do you like more, crow or red winged blackbird?" The students use rocks with their names on them to answer the question. Then we count each column and add them together to find out how many students are at school all together.

Our next big adventure was setting up some shelters.  We knew it looked like rain so we wanted to be prepared.  The students worked together and used their problem solving skills to build a great structure.

A highlight of the day was after lunch when it was really pouring, we all got cozy under our shelter and read the beginning of a new chapter book called "The Giraffe, the Pelly and Me." It was fun listening to the rain on the tarps and the students can't wait to find out what will happen next in the story.

Snack time under our shelter.

We did have to go inside for a little while to get out of the rain but we were back out playing by the end of the day.

Mr. W. reading another awesome book for library outside.

Thanks so much for helping this day to be successful by sending appropriate rain gear, warm clothes and healthy snacks. For the most part, students were warm and dry.

The weather looks sunny and warm tomorrow but it may still be cool in the morning. Please make sure that students have everything on their checklist, just in case.
