Nature Challenge Month of April

 

As announced in class today, as part of our new unit on interconnectedness with nature (another post on that to come Monday), Ms. DeTerra has challenged everyone to try and visit as many green, nature spaces as possible during the month of April.

To help provide incentive, Ms. D will give a prize to the person who visits the most green spaces by April 30th!

 

Here are the requirements for the challenge:

  • Green spaces include Burnaby or other Lower Mainland parks, lakes, beaches, trails, eco-sculptures, playgrounds, conservation areas, golf courses, or other public outdoor spaces (for example, a courtyard park between buildings, as long as we can tell where it is, would be okay.)
  • You must take a picture of yourself (a selfie or have your parents/friends take it) at the green space to prove you were there. The picture must include something that makes the space recognizable. For example, a sign, a recognizable building, or a street sign.
  • Each space can only be counted once. For example, if you take pictures in different areas of the same park, it does not count. 
  • Save your photos until the end of the month, then bring them to school on a USB or have them uploaded to Google Drive so you can put them in a slideshow to show me.
  • The prize will be worth it, so do your best! Many of you have lots of green spaces around you to explore.
  • Yes, our park next to Suncrest Elementary counts, if you get a picture of yourself in it.

If you have any questions, post them in the comments below for everyone to see!

Good luck!
