Outdoor Classroom

We had friends from Dr. Hamilton School come over to spend time with us today. Ms. Clarke's grade 1 class has been taking part in an Outdoor Classroom Challenge. Her class has taken their learning outdoors all this week. . . they are outdoor experts! We were able to learn how to build a shelter from tarps, bungee cords and pegs. The plan was to have the sun shining, and of course it came out at 3 o'clock after our friends had left. We did have tons of fun, even without the sun. I think there may be lots of talk about geocaching at home tonight.

Here are our thoughts:
