The day that...
it flurried!
These are pictures of our forest plans. In the top plan Wise Woodpecker drew a picture of a tree with a bird. Her picture matches her words. In the bottom plan, the writer made sure to put spaces between his words. He also used lowercase letters!
We were feeling a deer antler! An animal had nibbled on it. Nibble marks are a sign that an animal has been in the forest. Other signs could be holes in the ground, tracks, scat, or actually seeing the animal.
For snack we had clementines and pretzels. It tasted so yummy! Thank you, Sweet Snowshoe Hare's family!
After snack we headed into the forest. The whole class walked up the road because we didn't want to fall and get hurt walking up the slippery hill!
We started our day with sit spots. Engaged Eastern Redback Salamander drew with a stick at his sit spot. So did Wise Woodpecker, Bubbly Black Bear, Brave Barred Owl, Warm Woodland Jumping Mouse, Nice Northern Shrike, Balanced Blue Jay, Enthusiastic Eastern Newt, and Decisive Deer. Some of us wrote designs and letters in the snow.
During play time Red Fox and Wise Woodpecker were ripping up a box to help Mrs. T get the fire going. We didn't use all of it. We saved some for next time.
Decisive Deer and some of her friends were sliding down a slick hill.
In one station we were using magnifying glasses to look at snowflakes. We saw that they have six sides. All of us saw a snowflake up close. We all got to see a six-sided snowflake! They were really tiny and hard to take a picture of. We could only enjoy them with our eyes.
In another station we were doing The Mitten. We acted it out. Each of us got to be an animal. Some of us got to be two! In the story the mole went into the mitten first. An owl, mouse, bear, hedgehog, fox, rabbit, and a badger went into the mitten too!
When we came back inside Decisive Deer and Balanced Blue Jay were helping Mrs. T sew their neck warmers.
It was 28 degrees today. It was a good day.
