Safety Considerations:

will need appropriate apparel for being outside all day. As well instructional will be given for
each specific activity. Generally to be aware where others are in their space and to be attentive
to their body’s needs.

Management Strategies
Throughout the duration of the day students will be asked to participate in activities as a large
group and as smaller ones as well. Students will be expected to travel and participate in
activities in the community in a respectful manner as they are representing not only themselves
but also the school and their teachers as well.
Stage 1- Desired Results – you may use student friendly language

What do they need to understand, know, and/or able to do?

 Psychomotor: Students will be asked to safely participate in man tracker, building quinzhees,
sledding/or skating, and cross country sking. To start the day and intermittently between
activities students will need to be aware of their physical state and will need to warm-up their
body’s/limbs for injury prevention.

 Cognitive: Will discuss the strategies to be utilized throughout the day for the various
activities
