| We are participating! Are you?! |
Here was part of the note we sent home so families would know what was coming up!

Dear
Parents/Guardians,
This letter is to
inform you that throughout the month of May, Room 4 will be participating in
the David Suzuki 30x30 Nature Challenge. The challenge involves leaving the
classroom to spend 30 minutes a day in nature for 30 days. We ask that students
are dressed according to the weather of the day to ensure all can join in the
fun. This challenge is weather permitting which means that if we are not able
to learn outside one day, we will be learning outside for 1 hour the next day.
The David Suzuki 30x30
Nature Challenge is best described as a way to get people of all ages into
nature more often. Activities might include using all senses by breathing in
the fresh air, listening for bird songs, or watching for local wildlife. Other
activities might include scavenger hunts, sketching or journaling, writing,
solving real-life math problems and walking in nature. All activities will be
supervised by a Radisson School teacher.
We will also take a walking field trip to the bio-reserve to see the
nature right in our backyard! This learning fits in with provincial, divisional
and school priorities of teaching students about Sustainable Development and
the importance our natural environment.
“It’s a simple yet
meaningful way to develop a deeper connection with nature while improving our
health and well-being. Best of all, it’s free and easy to implement!”
