Survival Skills

PictureThe class built this shelter
Our  semester has ended with an amazing EXPO,  and suddenly everything is very quiet around here.  The teachers are busy finishing narrative reports and have been sending in their elective write ups.  Since there won't be much to report until summer camp, I thought I would share the elective reports for the next few blogs.  This is Rachel's write up about the two survival skills electives she offered this semester...

This semester in survival, students participated in a number of fun and engaging activities.  They used their powers of creative thinking to decide how many different uses one object could provide.  They learned about the seven basic needs of survival, identification of local venomous snakes and spiders (via pictures – although we did see a baby coral snake one day!), and basic wilderness first aid, as well as what to put in a basic survival kit.  Students had hands-on experience in a variety of fire-building methods, and got to try out a fire drill.  They learned knife safety, ways of making water safe to drink, and different types of shelter they could seek.  Students participated in making cane poles, fishing in the creek, and building a wikiup.  On the final Friday, both classes participated in a brainstorming activity to help envision how the survival class could continue to grow in interest, usefulness, and excitement for next year.  I hope they will all continue to seek experiences that will foster a love of the outdoors, and will teach them how to be safe in the wilderness.

    Deborah: I believe children need to have more time in the great outdoors and no time bubbling in answer sheets to prepare for standardized tests.
