Tuesday Among the Trees, December 20th

The day that...
it was so cold we went outside later.

Today it was so cold in the morning that we needed to adapt.  It was icy and cold outside,  We stayed in and did the things we usually do on days that are not forest like morning meeting and number corner.  We even did go-noodle.  The video we're doing in this picture is called tobata.  

Wise White Footed Deer Mouse's family brought us snack today.  It was strawberry and blueberry yogurt.  It was yummy.  Thank you deer mouse family!  That was delicious!

After snack we worked on our journals. Sweet Snowshoe Hare is drawing her picture.  Balanced Blue Jay is writing words.  Decisive Deer  wrote: we will see trees.

After writing we had stations.  People were peeling potatoes and carrots for stone soup. In the other station we were making decorations for animals in the forest.  They were for the birds. They were maid out of popcorn and cranberries.  They were way too sour for us to eat.  We wonder if the birds will eat them.  We will find out when we get back from vacation.

We brought our decorations into the forest.  We were wondering if animals celebrate holidays and have traditions like we do.  We put out a feast for the birds.  We also decorated.  These are some things that some of our families do at holidays.  They are traditions.

Other children were playing in the snow.  We slid down on our knees.  In this picture we were trying to get ourselves off the ground.  We wanted to get all the way to the bottom of the hill in the air.

It was 18 degrees out today.  It felt like it was 0.
