Wonder happens when a child rolls a log over and finds a colony of tiny creatures, observes birds coming to feast at the bird feeder he has made, walk along a stream...stalk through the woods...roll down a hill...run through a meadow...or watches pigeons nest under the building's eaves. Clamber over rocks...edge along the seashore...revisit spaces and places. A sense of wonder cannot be taught, but children develop it through discovery and positive experiences with nature and outdoors.
~New Brunswick Curriculum Framework - Diversity and Social Responsibility (P. 30)
