Cassie Meador's Moving Field Guide: A Teacher Training Toolkit For Grades 3-5

In this first volume of the Moving Field Guide (MFG) series, Dance Exchange and the U.S. Forest Service share approaches to bringing the MFG to your schoolyard. The examples included in this workbook are geared towards grades 3-5, but can certainly be adapted for other ages and grade levels.

In this Schoolyard Edition of the MFG, students get out of the classroom to connect directly with the ecology of their own schoolyard. Students have the opportunity to observe and create movement as a way to learn about the environment, to cultivate their senses, and to close the divide that can so often exist between their bodies and the natural world.
