Tuesday Among the Trees, November 1st

The day that...
we made an obstacle course and we saw the birds.

Bear looked up at the sky during sit spots.   Woodpecker noticed birds who were eating food from the seed bucket. Red fox was looking around.  Snowy owl was sitting on the ground and rolling back and forth and a drop of something wet landed on her.  White footed deer mouse noticed that there was a tree with a split that went farther and farther and farther.
Miss Wetzel came around to send each person who was sitting quietly in their sit spot to the circle.  When we got to the circle Mrs. T had an acorn that she was hiding in her hand.  We had to guess if it was in the bottom hand or the top hand.

We climbed today.  We climbed trees.  Woodpecker and Deer built a bear cave.  They played bears with our visitor, Niki.  They cooked dinner with bowls, mushrooms, acorns, and sticks.  
We played on an obstacle course today.  We built it! There were a lot of people who wanted to go on it.  We had to balance to get across the logs.  Chipmunk was helping people balance by standing next to them in case they needed someone to hold on to.

We fed the birds. White footed deer mouse was the last in line to put in a scoop of seeds.  Many of us took a turn.  Some children got to hold the feeder and others got to pour in a scoop.  We saw so many birds today.  One of them was called a chickadee.  It says: chicka-dee-dee-dee!

We talked about the temperature today.  We found out what temperature water freezes at.  32!  In this game, if Mrs. T said a number that was higher than 32, we were rain.  Rain is made out of water.  If Mrs. T said a number that was lower than 32, we were snowflakes.  If we were snowflakes, we fell slowly to the ground.  If we were rain, we fell quickly.  We were precipitation. 

 We made patterns.  The pattern went leaf, stick, leaf, stick.  We had to match Miss Wetzel's pattern and at the end, we got to make our own.

In number corner we usually make patterns with the numbers - it goes black, blue, black, blue, red, black, blue, black, blue, red.  Outside we used sticks, leaves and acorns.  It was really fun.

It was cold today.  When we measured the temperature in the morning, it was 35 degrees.  Snowshoe hare was our meteorologist.  We tasted scones today.  That was our snack.  They were good.
