Nature Journals at our Sit Spots

After reading Me and My Sit Spot by Lauren MacLean and illustrated by Anna Panchuk, Mrs. McKinnon's grade 3/4 class ventured outdoors to choose a sit spot of their own. They sat quietly for a few moments, some switching spots that were better suited to them and then everyone settled into nature journaling about what they could see, hear, smell and feel. Students gathered together afterwards to share ideas and then completed a scavenger hunt outdoors as well. At the end of the week, one student reflected on the experience as something that inspired them.
