Cultivating Learning: Activities for all Seasons: Outdoor Things to Do in the Summer
http://cultivatinglearning.blogspot.com/2014/07/outdoor-things-to-do-in-summer.html
Cultivating Learning: Activities for all Seasons. Sunday, 13 July 2014. Outdoor Things to Do in the Summer. When schools are out in the summer, individuals and families often seek fun things to do. Outdoor activities may differ in different parts of the world. What do boys and girls usually do in the summer? What do adults do? One idea is to make a big class list and check off who has done what, and who will do what. I have done 33 things on this list. How about you? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://cultivatinglearning.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Cultivating Learning: Activities for all Seasons. Monday, 31 March 2014. Winter time can be a difficult time to find good quality and cheap fresh fruits and vegetables. In my class a few weeks ago, we had some visitors from a local "eat healthy" group demonstrate how to make a delicious salad with us. They brought all the ingredients, and we provided the bowls, forks, and appetites :). Our guest speakers brought this recipe. I do not know the source. Our final item: compost! Follow-up: Our community offe...

Cultivating Learning: Activities for all Seasons. Tuesday, 27 May 2014. Edible weeds in your neighbourhood? Why not learn about them! With a teacher experienced. In identifying edible weeds, several activities are possible across the levels. A good resource book like this one can be helpful.

http://cultivatinglearning.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Cultivating Learning: Activities for all Seasons. Saturday, 29 June 2013. My class recently completed a unit on pioneer life. This unit included several readings, watching a film about Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Trail, going on a field trip to a pioneer village, and reading the graded Penguin reader of Anne of Green Gables. Connecting the unit to horticulturally-related activities and topics was quite easy if you consider food and its preservation. Who worked together to preserve it? 2 Identify ne...
