The day that...
We Got Our Forest Animals.
Today we were thinking about getting ready for winter. We put on lots of layers today so we could stay warm. That is how people get ready for winter. Animals get ready for winter by collecting food or finding a cave to hibernate in.
We had 2 playtimes today! We stayed outside for a full forest day so we had plenty of time to learn and play. We did all kinds of things during playtime.
Some of us worked on digging up a giant crystal that we found.
Some of us helped stack wood! That was very helpful and also one of the ways we are getting ready for winter.
We had our first fire today! It was good to have a fire because it was chilly out. It was 41 degrees! Once the fire was started the kids came running over to see it burn and hear it crackle.
At work stations we collected acorns just like chipmunks. We used them for counting. We are all invited to find acorns at home and bring them in to school. We will use them all year for counting.
At our other work station we learned about sit spots. At sit spots we are quiet and by ourselves. It is one of our forest routines. We will do this every week. It will help us practice to be trackers in the forest who notice all kinds of things.
We ate lunch in the forest around the fire!
We had a wonderful day. It was chilly but we were dressed warm. Next week we will dress warm again. It is hat season for sure! Soon it will be time for long johns, too.
