Tuesday Among the Trees, November 15th

The day that...
we saw scat.

We had muffins today.  They were yummy muffins and we got 2!  Brilliant Box Turtle baked the muffins with his mom.  We were so grateful.

We are investigating some scat.  We thought it might be coyote or raccoon scat.  We found apple seeds in the scat and we used Mrs. T's phone to find out that both raccoons and coyotes eat apples.
  
Enthusiastic Eastern Newt and his friends are playing with sticks.  We slid down them.  Box Turtle got sad because we were wrecking it and he was trying to build it.  He felt happy when we fixed it and we were sliding down it.  When we were sliding down it made Box Turtle laugh.

In this picture it looks like Decisive Deer is sitting on top.  Wise Woodpecker and Warm Woodland Jumping Mouse are raking.  They got the cabin so nice and neat and tidy. It is like they are playing house.

In Miss Wetzel's group we made shapes today.  We made then out of sticks.

We talked about forest jobs in Mrs. T's station today.  We filled and hung the bird feeders and bird cakes.  
We collected sticks too.  When we start our forest jobs, we will have stick collectors and bird feeders.  The bird feeders are called ornithologists.

We also collected birch bark which is white tree skin.  Birch bark is good for starting fires.

A couple of students got scratches on their faces today.  In this picture, 2 students are helping another student who got hurt.  Brilliant Box Turtle got hit by a stick that fell down.  Decisive Deer got poked.

At lunch we read a book that didn't have any pictures in it.  Brave Barred Owl collected a piece of club moss and a leaf and pretended that it was one of the characters in the book on a lily pad.

We were using sticks as magic wands.  We said "ziggity, zaggety, zoom" and that turned our friends into stuff like a unicorn or frog or a mouse.

We had a great day.  It was the best forest day ever.  Our teachers were happy because everyone played nice with each other and because we had a wonderful, quiet sit spot time.
 It was 42 degrees out.
