We used these books in the tents and also explained that the children could check them out of the Library after we were done using them in the Gym.

We are a blend school that has a environmental charter school within a regular school. I'm always looking for new ways to introduce my students to outdoor activities!

It sounds like you are in a unique situation to do some really cool things for your kids. Best of luck and feel free to let em know if you have any questions at any time.

Weldon Ehlert wrote: on Dec 18, 2009 04:31 PM Outdoor lessons from this point forward are limitless since we have now introduced the concept to the kids. The next large unit will be solely on hiking, how to prepare for a hike, what you can do in emergency situations, etc. We will use centers as well - #1Building a Shelter #2Map Reading/Orienteering #3Hiking Through and Over Obstacles #4Carrying an Injured Hiker #5Animal Tracking #6Preparing your Hiking pack with the essentials.

In the water safety station what are the students identiing? I can't read it because of the movie maker title. I can't wait to give this try my self! If you could send me the lesson play that you sent to Jerad that would be awesome. This is a ROCK solid lesson.

Its new for most of our children and anything new captures them right away. I will write you an e-mail and answer some more of your questions. Have a great day and happy teaching!

Too many of our students unfortunately have not experienced camping, hiking, fishing etc. What a great idea to expose this during Physical Education time. Thank you! gretchen wrote: on Jun 10, 2010 03:54 PM I read this book. I have shared it with every person I know who works with children. I think I have found our next district helath and wellness theme. Thanks for sharing your idea. I cannot wait to pass this video onto the rest of the PE staff.
