"Nature Walk"

Yesterday during PE I had my students walk around the field looking for signs of nature. Foot prints in the snow, empty nests, birds in the sky, the barking of a dog; they aren't hard to find out there. My attempt was to calm and center them on this walk because I believe that PE should be calming and relaxing some days. At the end of the session I asked them what they found: squirrels, rabbit footprints, bird's nest, but dear R had a different response. When asked what signs of nature or animal life he saw he responded with yellow snow. Technically its a correct observation!
