Today we went on a silent walk to discover what is special around Montrose School.
We have been watching a lot of Tourism Winnipeg YouTube videos, we are basically experts in all YouTube videos. We use YouTube a lot to enhance our learning, make real life connections and get up to date and very current information. We love YouTube! For awhile now Room 122 students have wanted to do their very own Tourism Winnipeg video. We’ve thought about doing our video on the CHRM, The Forks, The Exchange (my idea that I had to let go of), we’ve talked about piggy backing ideas of different ones and doing one for all of Winnipeg. Then this weekend I was thinking about how to expand their ideas, how to take those ideas somewhere and do something with them. Then it just kind of came to me… what is so close to us, all of us? What place is amazing and we all go to it almost every day? What place are we so passionate about that we want everyone to know more about it? MONTROSE SCHOOL! As I started introducing the idea of taking what we know about Tourism videos and creating our own for Montrose School, the students became sooooooo excited and so passionately involved, they could barely contain themselves, they were wildly talking about all of the great reasons to visit Montrose School! And they were super duper excited about making another video. Like I’ve said before, Room 122 students love that camera time!!
So today we walked around Montrose School with our eyes wide open and our ears raised. We were quiet (kind of), we were thoughtful, we imagined what people would want to know about Montrose school. We noticed things that we may not have. We shared what we noticed with each other.
We asked the question; What makes Montrose School a Tourist attraction for Winnipeg.
Tourism Winnipeg ~ A Visit To Montrose School (coming soon…)
Looking forward to it!
can’t wait to see what they come up with!
That sounds very cool! The photos in this post are lovely! It sure looks like it was a BEAUTIFUL day to go walking. I too like to take walks with my camera, in search of the simple beauty nature has to offer. Montrose School has some pretty amazing green space all around it!
