Experience a year in the life of one of the following – squirrel, coyote, beaver and chickadee. These are creative programs designed to provide students with a first-hand, realistic depiction of what these animals do during the course of a year. Students will move like these animals, forage for food, hide from danger and construct authentic animal shelters. We use music, story telling, drama and a host of other teaching techniques to foster an awareness and appreciation of our native animals and birds. One of our favourite programs!
