The day that...
it was so slippery that we slipped everywhere we went.
For snack, we had chocolate chip muffins before we went outside.
We loved to walk through the snow. We tried not to play on the way. We kept slipping on the ice. Some of us slipped a lot.
We did a lot of playing. Northern Shrike built a fort and a snowman with some friends. Beaver and some others were working to get the ice off from all around the bear. They used some tools, like some ski polls, a shovel, and a hand drill. They didn't get all of the ice off because there wasn't enough time. Eastern Chipmunk was climbing up some mountains and sliding down.
While we were siting in circle, we were pretending the thermometer was a talking stick. We were holding it and we were talking. Northern Shrike noticed that there was rain and ice in the water gauge.
We had cups and ice trays that we poured water into. We let them sit until we went inside. When we looked at them later, the ones with less water froze! The ones that were filled more didn't freeze.
In one station we were pretending to hibernate. When we were bunnies we hopped because they don't hibernate. When we were bears, we were sleeping because they hibernate and don't wake up until they think it's warmer.
We also read a story, Bear Snores On. We acted it out. There was a mouse, rabbit, badger, raven, and a wren that came into the cave of a sleeping bear. In one part, the bear sneezed and woke up.
In another station, we were finding tracks and footprints. We used a book about animal footprints and matched the tracks that we saw to the tracks in the book. White Footed Deer Mouse thought he found bear tracks. We decided to follow a deer first. Then we decided to follow a squirrel. We ended up finding a little brook. There was ice and some of us were sliding on it. Newt stood on the ice on the brook and accidentally fell in and got wet. Whoops!
We cooked potatoes in the fire. We wrapped them in tin foil. The potatoes got burned. Mr. Lord showed us one of them and it crumbled in his hand. Some of the potatoes weren't all burnt. Some of the parts were still good! They were yummy!
On our way back, we were sliding down the hill. Some friends dropped some water jugs down the hill and they slid down.
It was 18 degrees today. We had a snowy cold day. Some of us were kind of cold but also kind of hot because we were wearing warm layers.
