Nature is Calling

Have you heard about the 30x30 Nature Challenge? The David Suzuki Foundation challenges people to spend 30 minutes a day outside in nature for 30 days in the month of May. As a class we have discussed ways to make this happen. We spent our "work on writing" time in our outdoor classroom on the playground. Students chose a spot they felt would allow them to do their choice writing. The fresh air and sunshine helped to inspire us. It is terrific that we can find opportunities to learn and enjoy nature. The spotting of a ladybug added to the excitement.

Thanks to Ms. Wasney for sharing this information with us. There are several classes at BHS participating in this challenge.
