RV25 - More Nature Photos from the Archives

These images are scans of Kodachrome slides found in the Rouge Valley archives. The original photos were taken by Pam Keith during Rouge Valley's first year (1991-1992). Pam was one of the founding teachers of the school. Prints of some of these beautiful photos are still hanging in the staff room for all to enjoy!

What are we doing?

Each week students walk through their local community to a meadow on the edge of the Rouge River Valley. These “place based” environment activities are integrated with curriculum areas and meet the Ministry’s environmental policy found in Acting Today, Shaping Tomorrow.

Our philosophy is to engage students through experiential learning and to cover as wide a range of curriculum as possible. Using Walking Wednesdays as a jumping off point, we have covered Ministry curriculum expectations in Science, Social Studies, Mathematics, Language and the Arts.
