Whittling Away

We have had some beautiful weather up here recently and whenever we do, we try to get the students outside of the classroom to do some nature activities. My high school colleague, who from henceforth will be known as "Roule" (by his request, to sound mysterious and awesome) suggested we take the students out to the woods to collect sticks to make into walking sticks or staffs. They are good to have if you get stuck in the snow/mud, to fend off angry dog fights and make you look awesome. Here's some shots of them enjoying the little field trip..




Pretty solid looking bunch if you ask me!

We then took our sticks for some whittlin'...





I will be sure to show you all the finished product when it's done :) There are definitely some perks to working in the North.
