The lesson plan for this week involves an outdoor scavenger hunt. Hundreds of studies have linked spending time outside to better health outcomes including better immune system function. Furthermore, studies show that even just 20 minutes per day spent in nature can lower stress hormone levels, boost self-esteem and improve mood. For children, time spent outside under the taxing circumstances of a pandemic—stress from being home from school, uncertain conditions and isolation from friends can have lasting positive effects. LET’S GET THE WHOLE FAMILY OUTSIDE! Please find attached a wonderful scavenger hunt created by the CBC. Please drop me an email letting me know who in the family completed the scavenger hunt.
