Highlights of the Conference
Touring Belgravia School Grounds
Outdoor Inquiry
Even later on we were discussing "weeds" as a group and I learned that dandelions were invasive... about half the group thought it was common knowledge and the other half of us had our minds completely blown! One of the inquiry questions we had created after leanring that was, "What did Alberta's landscape look like 150-200 years ago?". What a great way to integrate social studies and science all at once!
Journaling Activies
Outdoor Art
The first activity we did was flower-pounding. I wish I had a photograph to share with you... but I was too busy pounding the bejeebus out of my plants. It was fantastic. It was amazing. It was completely shocking to find out how much color you could get out of a leaf or piece of grass!
If you have any opportunity to participate in an Evergreen Outdoor Classroom Institute take the chance!
