Leo The Extraordinarily Ordinary Lizard
For the experiential learning project, I read a book called, “Leo the Extraordinarily Ordinary Lizard”, to first and second grade students. By reading this book I got out into the community, and met a great deal of young kids ready to learn about the wonders of the Santa Rosa Plateau. This enjoyable read was very entertaining, containing jokes to make you laugh, and questions for you to ponder, about a lizard, Leo, who does not know what his fun is. But by interacting with the creatures in his ecosystem, Leo is able to figure out what he can do for fun. In conclusion I hope this book has a long term effect because it could lead to one having a moment of wanting to go into the community and leading nature hikes, and starting conservation

    “Animal Alphabet” by Ale Lluch is used to teach the Alphabet both capitalized and lowercased letters, reading, spelling, pronunciation, and associating words with their meaning. It includes animals in the book to associate letters with specific animals and how these animals are pronounced. The book has thick cardboard pages which uses sliding pieces. On the top of the moving peace it displays both upper and lowercase letters of a specific letter in the alphabet. When you move the piece to the left it reveals an animal associated with that letter as well as the spelling of it. The artist used a fun technique that allows the children to be directly involved with the book by allowing them to slide the piece back and forth. They see the letters in the alphabet and then the book shows them how letters associate with the sound of animal types. For example it has the letter B, b and then the child slides the piece and it displays a picture of a bear with how the word bear is spelled. The person reading the book to the child would pronounce the B sound and then say the word bear. My daughter is 3 years old and she can recognize letters and…

    In the book, “Last Child in the Woods”, talks about how children need to be aware of their surroundings on a day-to-day basis and their environments. Many children experience their skills inside and outside the classroom. In my opinion, in today’s society we are teaching young educators to avoid any direct interaction in nature. Richard Louv begins her book by stating the importance of nature inside the classroom. As a future educator, I believe that the ultimate message is delivered in schools, within families, and outside organizations who devote time outdoors. Educators should know the significant as children develop fine and gross motor skill through play and communication with…

    “Dinofours” by Steve Metzger was my favorite series of books I liked to have read to me when I was little. My absolute favorite book in the series was “It’s time for school!” I would make my mom read it to me everyday when I was getting ready to go to preschool for the first time. This book is special to me because it made me excited to go to school and learn at a very young age. As a reader, this book allowed me to enjoy learning how to read. As I got older, I would find myself coming back to the books when I could read them myself. This book also inspired me to read more books to find more stories that intrigued me as much as this one did.…

    Pope Leo the great (440-461 AD) is famous for his Tome of Leo document, The Council of Chalcedon, and he illuminated the conformist definition of Jesus’ being as the religious states of two beings- divine and human. Despite all of this, Pope Leo the Great is most famous for his persuasion of the crude Attila the Hun (434-453 AD) to not invade Italy in 452 AD. The emperors usually paid off barbaric tribes to not invade them but this further gave reason for the tribes to invade Western Europe. The only thing the stood in the way of Attila and Rome was Pope Leo and the Papacy. Pope Leo the Great coaxed Attila not to invade Italy. This persuasion shows that in fact Pope Leo the Great’s approach to the barbarian invasions of Western Europe were generally successful ones. Pope Leo was successful in his persuasion of the Huns because Pope Leo the Great was persistent in his efforts. He was not so successful when he could not convince the Vandals to stay away from Rome, he did convince them to not completely destroy and burn the city; that is still a success.…

    The strategies I would use for promoting curiosity would be promoting the work of an exotic wild life rescue. I would promote the zoo, park rangers and wild life rangers. These individuals get hands on training with such animals and understand more of their dangers that people that house them may not understand. They also go to school to understand the way they live and need for survival. They could educate the individuals that have the need to house such exotic animals. I could also promote the idea of creating a treatment program for people that want to…

    Children can expand their vocabulary as the temperature grows warmer and colder, leaves fall off trees, snow falls and rain forms puddles on the ground. A great sensory experience is provided as well as an opportunity to teach children about the concept of time, seasons, weather and why they occur. Children who’s minds are very active are more likely to prefer being outside than indoors. When it comes to sitting down and doing work, you as a keyworker may have to rethink your learning strategies and take the learning experience outside so the child has a better understanding as it’s their best interest. Activities could include chalking on the floor outside and drawing shapes and numbers or writing their name. The outside is also an opportunity to learn through imaginative play. By arranging treasure hunts or playing “detective”, you could help children become more familiar with rhyme through riddles or place shapes, numbers, letters and colours in plain sight for them to find. Providing planting experiences allows children to learn about lifecycles and growth and decay. The outside provides many opportunities for new learning experiences all in children’s best…

    As outdoor education has evolved in the decades since the 1950s, however, so too has its definition. In Adventure education: Some semantics, Lund (2002) says that outdoor education is “an experiential method of learning with the use of all senses. It takes place primarily, but not exclusively, through exposure to the natural environment. In outdoor education, the emphasis for the subject of learning is placed on relationships concerning people and natural resources.”…
