M-AC Nature Day
Mr. Rabbit and Miss Squirrel recently surprised 50-odd fifth
and sixth graders from Asheville Christian Academy with a first
hand story of what it's like to live in the wilds surrounding
Montreat-Anderson College.
At first hesitant, the two over-sized "animals" finally emerged
from the woods and began moving toward the children who were '
on a field trip with their teacher, Miss Jill North. Their guides, all
members of the Outdoor Recreation and Nature class at Mon- ,
treat-Anderson, soon caught sight of the approaching ,
"creatures" and urged the students over to the "animals." A
friendship quickly formed and the lives of Mr. Rabbit and Miss
Squirrel began to unfold. i
For the remainder of the outing, special environmental <
awareness games and projects provided the children with a look
at nature through their senses rather than through a textbook.
This approach to teaching, according to M-AC Recreation
Professor Penny Nickel, is somewhat new and aimed at (
providing children with an intimate knowledge of the out-of- ]
doors. :
Pictured in conversation (L-R) are: Miss Patty McKlean of <
Asheville, Miss Jennifer Hopper of Black Mountain and 1
Professor Nickel with recreation students Barbara McKenzie j
and Barry Sullivan.
