Tuesday Among the Trees, November 22nd

The day that...
there was snow on the ground.

Brave Barred Owl, Decisive Deer, and Warm Woodland Jumping Mouse are sitting at their sit spots.  They look peaceful.  Brave Barred Owl is lying down.  At some spots there were a lot of leaves and at other spots there was a lot of snow.  At Bubbly Black Bear's sit spot there was snow and he tasted it!  Sweet Snowshoe Hare was hitting leaves with a stick to get the snow off.

Warm Woodland Jumping Mouse, Responsible Red Fox and Wise Woodpecker were raking up leaves so that they could get the cabin door all clean.  They were pretending that Miss Wetzel was the queen who was coming to visit the cabin/palace.

We found crystals!  They were icicles and they could break.  This is a picture of Brilliant Box Turtle looking closely at the crystals.  He was looking for crystals that he could take home.  A lot of us liked looking at the crystals.

Nice Northern Shrike, Brave Barred Owl, and Sweet Snowshoe Hare was looking at a hole.  Cheerful Chipmunk was there too.  They found an animal home where the animal could go in and out.  

Today during stations time we played "Meet a Tree."  We were covering people's eyes with their hats.  We brought them to a tree and they felt it and when they were done they had to guess which tree they touched.  The person who had their eyes covered had to tell how the tree felt.  We put our arms around the tree to see how big it was and touched the roots and bark.  The tree sometimes felt smooth, bumpy, rough, fat, skinny, or tough.

In the other station we played the freeze or melt game.  When we said a number higher than 32 we dropped down like rain.  When we said a number lower than 32, like 1, 2, 3, then we floated down like snow.  Different people had a chance to say the temperature for the game.

It felt a little cold today.  It was so cold that Bubbly Brown Bear almost cried.  It was 36 degrees today.  Mrs. T is going to order some new mittens for our class.  Winter is really here!
