Tuesday Among the Trees, December 13th

The day that...
our sit spots were covered in snow.

Today there was enough snow to eat. Today some of us made snow angels.  


Today when we walked out to the forest we had to climb a giant mountain of snow to get onto the TOOLS trail.

For some of us, it was hard to climb up to our base camp today. We had to look for easy ways to climb.  We used our hands and feet to dig into the snow and climb like a bear. 

At playtime Cheerful Chipmunk was pretending to shoot a rocket up into the air.  Other students were sliding in the slippery snow.  This student looks like she is climbing up.  She might also be scraping the snow off this rock.

Today we cooked pasta over the fire.  We ate the pasta while we listened to a story.  The story was about some missing eggs.  A really stinky skunk ate them and the mother grouse was very sad.  When mother nature found out that the skunk had snuck in the night to steal the eggs she gave him coat with white stripes so that he would not be able to sneak in his black coat again.  

Today with Miss Wetzel we had to guess numbers that make 5 and 10.  One said 5 + 1 = 6.  That does not make 10.  So, it was not a match.  We told her equations that did work!

In Mrs. T's station we were using 2 kinds of binoculars to see stuff that is far away from us.  We walked someplace high so we could see farther away but then we ran out of time and it was time for lunch.

It was really very snowy today.  We have lots of snow.  Yesterday we had a snow day.
