Outdoor Ed for Gr 2 students
This fundraiser supports the development of an ecological identity for grade 2 students. First Things First Okanagan sees the deep value of introducing children to biodiversity so they know its importance.
*NOTE* for Penticton and Summerland area only
Braden Hill Farm and Orchard are donating $15 PER BOX
Nicola, teacher at Queens Park Elementary in Penticton says:
Students build resilience and connection to the land, living things and water of the Okanagan with an emphasis on reconciliation and understanding human responsibility when being on the land.
They learn about local flora and fauna, scat, tracks and seasonality.
We visit Skaha Bluffs and Sunoka in the fall and late spring to build familiarity with place and see how places and ecosystems change through the year.
We visit Campbell Mountain to talk frankly about the landfill and human impacts.
We visit the McTaggert Conservation area in SkahaPpark to connect to Sylix pictographs and history and learn about the Bighorn Sheep.
The kids craft their land acknowledgment based on the trips as well
