The day that...
we ate banana and chocolate chip muffins, we slid and it was snowing.
Under the snow we found ice and it was really slippery. We walked on the snow but there was ice under the snow and we slipped. Eastern chipmunk made a snow angel and below the snow was ice.
These are tracks. It looks like a mouse because we could see where the tail might have dragged. We followed the tracks and we think this hole might be the mouse's home.
We were climbing up the hill and we were sledding. Northern Shrike is holding on to a root. Blue Jay and Raccoon and Jumping Mouse are trying to pull the root out of the ground.
This is Blue Jay at his sit spot. He was sitting.
American Robin is brushing snow off of the ground. Several students were brushing snow off of things during sit spot time.
We were looking at the waterfall and the waterfall had water. The water was dripping inside the icicles. It was filling the ice like water filter. It was beautiful. Some of the ice was cracked and laying in the water. It didn't seem like it was cold enough for the ice to freeze more. There were bits of ice in water. It was so beautiful and we wanted to share it so we only took a few pieces. We wanted to leave some for others to enjoy.
We were measuring stuff. First we measured stuff that was shorter than our piece of rope. Next we had to find something longer than our rope. Then we compared to find something that was the same. Blue Jay found a big, big long stick.
We read Over and Under the Snow. The book was about animals. They were hiding under the snow.
Next we pretended a white cloth was the snow. We took turns closing our eyes and we had to guess how many children were under the snow. We were pretending to be mice. Some of us really are mice. We have a white footed deer mouse and a woodland jumping mouse in our class.
At the end of our time in the forest we went to visit the brook. We decided that from now on we are not going to walk in the stream. Instead we can use sticks to fish or jump from snow to snow or poke the ice with sticks. We tried to get some rocks out of the brook with sticks.
It was 32 degrees outside today. The magic number! It was a perfect slippery day.
The End.
