Wednesday in the Woods, January 13th

The day that...
we ate blueberry muffins and made snowballs.


Some of us were slipping everywhere when we walked up the hill. Everywhere was ice! Some of us did not slip. River Otter noticed that the stream was frozen in some parts and not frozen in others.

Some of us had trouble getting to our spots for sit spots. Beaver helped Woodpecker get to her spot by giving her a stick to pull herself up.



During play time, we played! We were slipping everywhere. It was hard to get up the hill. In the top picture, some friends were making cakes with snow. In the bottom picture a lot of people were sliding.

After play time, it was windy and the trees were moving a lot. We went back down to the school for stations!


In one station, we made snow angels like in the book The Snowy Day. We also made a snowball to bring inside! We were playing the themes from the book. Mrs. Minnucci shook a tree and snow fell all over us!




In another station, we were looking at snow with magnifying glasses. It was kind of hard to see. They were tiny even for a magnifying glass. In the bottom two pictures, we are making one! Snowflakes have six arms. Snowflakes fall from the sky. They have thousands of crystals in them. They don't grow when they reach the ground. They grow when they are in the air.

We did not slide all the way down the hill to go back to school. We walked on the road. It was 20 degrees today.
