Have you visited Bois des Esprits? It is a beautiful space with many paths, with the Seine River running through it, and you can get to it by riding your bike with your family right from the St. Vital Trail next to the school! Seeing as it is Bike Everywhere Month, taking a bike ride with family may be a great idea. A wonderful organization, Save Our Seine, takes care of it, and has amazing initiatives like having a boat launch added, and trying to protect our park spaces in our city! Go check out their site here, by clicking on the picture below: Actually, wait a minute! What's this about the Butterflyway Project and Pollinator Week?? I have to contact them and find out more! We have a butterfly garden at the school! I visited Bois des Esprits this week, to hear all the sounds of the forest, and I made the video below so you could hear them, and see how fun it is to visit this lovely space! You can even create a sound map of all the different sounds you hear around you! Here is an excellent website with a short little video that explains how to make a sound map, which is the activity that I will be doing with students outside at school this week! Click HERE to read more about the sound map activity! What sounds do you hear outside on a walk with family? Comments are closed.
