As we continue to explore our school and larger community of Montpelier, students are thinking about their place in the world - what they do to contribute, as to where this place is. This weeks ECO focus was about mapping and exploring where Harrison Forest/Field are in location to our school. Our group traveled up the back side of the forest, passing Heaton Woods nursing home, and scaling the ridge line. Along the way, students got a birds eye view of Montpelier, and stopped for to sing the Vermont Song, as we looked out towards the golden dome! While in the forest, students sat from above, making maps of the forest, as well as mapping their sit spot location. A fun game of "Owl's Eye" was played - a camouflage outdoor version of hide and seek. Can you believe in 10 seconds, 40 first graders can camouflage themselves in the woods, and not be spotted from a stationary spot in the forest meeting area! Thanks to our volunteer grandpa for lending us a helping hand on this trip!
