Snowshoeing After a Big Snowfall
Posted On Tuesday January 18, 2022
A big snowfall? Let’s snowshoe! Snowshoeing was underway during Mary Tomczak’s high school APE PE classes at Winchester Academy today. The students had a blast while conquering "outdoor pursuits" of the NYS PE curriculum.
- The students spent one day being fitted for shoes and getting accustomed to the feel of them on their feet.
- They were given social stories to prepare them to go outside.
- They learned about "bindings" which are the straps that attach your foot to the snowshoe.
- They learned about Step Kicking which is a method of ascending a steep snow slope.
