These little learners used paper and crayons to capture the bark texture of different local tree species. This cedar tree had bumpy, striped” bark, while the alder trees had “smooth, spotted” bark 🌲 @SD62_Sooke @UVicEducation #handsonlearning #outdoored #getoutside

Zooming In! Students practiced using different tools to look closely at the natural environment, just like scientists do 🌱 @SD62_Sooke @UVicEducation @bcedchat #kindergarten #outdoorlearning

This morning our little learners used natural materials to create their own patterns. Math in the great outdoors! #math #patterns #outdoored #bced @SD62_Sooke @UVicEducation

Pumpkin exploration! Today for outdoor learning, these little learners used their scientist skills to notice and name the parts of their pumpkin and investigate what was inside 🎃 #bced #outdoorlearning #pumpkincarving @SD62_Sooke @UVicEducation

And just like that, practicum #1 is complete! I’m really going to miss “doing all the fun stuff” with this wonderful group of students, they make me smile daily 😄 #grade1 #education #practicum #bced @UVicEducation @UVicTeacherEd

[Morgan @morganmonkman]

Today’s project: an interactive “height” display to showcase student’s learning about measurement. Complete with life size animals from the local environment #practicum #bced #grade1 @UVicTeacherEd @UVicEducation

[Morgan @morganmonkman]

Yesterday we walked to a local park to complete a scavenger hunt! With their found materials, students practiced patterning by creating Nature Mandelas 🌱 #grade1 #patterns #nature

[Morgan @morganmonkman]

Today in story workshop the prompt was to notice the characteristics of a fairytale. Then students explored and created their own! #storyworkshop #grade1

[Morgan @morganmonkman]

And so it begins! Good luck to all my fellow student teachers beginning practicum today 🍎📖 @UVicEducation
