Pre-trip Planning

Good morning field trippers!

It seems very fitting that today the planning for the Landslide Coulee trip begins as it rains cats and dogs outside!  Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed for some good weather on June 5.

As we get prepared for a great day on June 5, there will be quite a bit of learning that takes place in the classroom prior to our departure. Cultural identity, math, Dream Catchers, Tipi education lessons and activities will all take place before we depart on June 5 along with reflective blogging throughout the learning process prior to, during and following our visit to Landslide Coulee. 

More details will come as we prepare you for the trip on what your assignments will all look like, but start to think about how your group would like to demonstrate your learning in your final project. You will be given quite a bit of freedom in what your final group assignment looks like so start thinking about what your finished project will look like. Will it be a Prezi, a power point, an interactive blog, a website, the sky is the limit. Regardless of what it looks like in the end, it will demonstrate what you have learned over the 2 week period leading up to an following your trip.
