Resources

Today it was great to have some class time outdoors as it has been a horrible September with it being cold and rainy. It was really interesting to see how a solar oven is set up and how it works, as I have never even seen what a solar oven looks like before. This re inscribed my learning as it made me think of the possibilities that I can use in my classroom with a solar oven. I think that students would really enjoy learning about a solar oven and being able to cook something in a solar oven. I also really enjoyed experiencing the large earth ball. I think that it was a great activity to do outdoors and their are many things that you can do with an earth ball. I do question the safety of some of the games that we played with it as a teacher, but as a student I loved them all even if some of them were kind of physical. In the classroom we would just have to state some safety rules to avoid injury. This would be great resource for teachers to have in their class and be able to take outside on a nice day and learn about the environment. It was hard to come back inside after being outside. I really did enjoy the resources that were presented when we were inside as it helped me think about how and what I can use in my classroom to help my students with their learning. This helped me also think of the 4 P's of Planning resource assignment that is due soon and gave me some ideas that I can use in that assignment.
