The Future is Wild

A great group of grade 3 and 4's studied biomes, and created their own creatures, uniquely adapted to that particular biome. Students studied the animal kingdom, how animals adapt, change and evolve over time, and finally, how niches are filled. Great work from a great group of students!










We used The Future is Wild DVD's to supplement the learning. Great ideas in the dvd's and interesting concepts enjoyed by all. You can buy the dvd's from Amazon.com

Board Game Design




This was a fantastically popular session to host: we had students design and create their own board game. I have never seen students work so diligently and conceptually at designing and creating. It was lots of fun to teach and facilitate.

Goodbye to summer and hello to the school year

As we head back to school, let us not forget the importance of play and time to be in nature.




This summer I read the book "Last Child in the Woods", which I highly recommend for urban children like my own. Time to get outside and into the world to explore and discover.




As a fun activity, we are going to try and find out the types of trees we have on our street and in our local park using the Audubon guide. We are going to look around and figure out what is in front of us, and connect with it in a larger way.
