Muffy and the horses!

Today was horse day. 

We got to visit with Muffy Knox, a horse and people trainer. She taught us all about animal care, horse body language and animal safety.

Students all had a chance to interact with the horses. Students groomed the horses, cleaned the horses, fed the horses and even cleaned up after the horses!!

We wrapped up our day practicing Indigenous Ways of Knowing through one of my favorite sketching techniques; I see, I think, I wonder.

Muffy Knox, Scooby-Doo and Creampuff (little, mini horse is not a baby!!! She is fully grown!!). How old do you think she is??

Scooby-Doo has different coloured eyes, can you tell what colour they are? Ask you child why one eye looks smaller than the other....(hint: it is an illusion and had something to do with skin colour).

Scooby-Doo loves cuddles!! And scratches!!! And rubs!! What is her favorite spot to get scratched?

Today we learned horses can sleep standing up! We also witnessed the shortest nap of life; 20ish seconds!!

Students got to practice their sketching and Indigenous Ways of Knowing! Ask your child to finish these sentence starters for you, make sure they connect it to something they learned today!!
