Students learned about how the Native Americans got everything they needed from nature, and they participated in various activities to teach them about the past. The day began with a sensory walk where students used their senses to explore the world around them. Later in the morning, they participated in stations where they built shelters from what they could find in the area, took a hike where they classified items as either renewable or nonrenewable resources, and attempted to make fire by friction and tie cordage (homemade rope). In the afternoon, they started making a timeline by writing an informational paragraph about the Native American uses of natural resources, practiced using a trail map to navigate a hike, learned how damaged trees are categorized for possible removal, and enjoyed some down time reading during library skills class. The activities were an enjoyable way to kick off nature week at the Chippewa Nature Center!
