Teacher candidates joined students from Rosemont Elementary School at Kokanee Creek Provincial Park to learn about the life cycle of the Kokanee Salmon. Candidates were also able to observe local park interpreters work with small groups of elementary students in an outdoor setting. It was a great learning experience for all.
Talk about place-based learning! We are so fortunate to be going to school in an area that provides an opportunity to witness the natural life-cycle of a crucial species. The children’s wonderment was infectious! Picnic lunch and class discussions/reflections on the beach wasn’t too bad either 😉
