Teachers told us what they are doing to get students outside as the weather warms up.
We did a week of pond school, where every class went out once a day. They took their learning outside, with sit spots, math, poetry, science and instilling a love of nature.

We go to our sit spot in our local park.

My Grade 1 team walks to the land (Whitemud Ravine) each month to observe seasonal changes through the lens of Indigenous Ways of Knowing. We use the Cree Moon videos created by Etienna Moostoos-Lafferty. In February, mikisiwipisim (Eagle Moon), we walked to the ravine. There were four eagles soaring above us. Then two eagles started their trust free fall dance, where they grasp talons and fall through the air. It was significant. My thoughts were that when we make the time to go outside, shared experiences present themselves.
