Tuesday Among the Trees, March 7th

The day that...
We tapped trees and made grilled cheese.

We started the day with our journals.  Brilliant Box Turtle wrote "I hope to see scat."  He left spaces between his words. 
Wise White Footed Deer Mouse wrote I hope to see a snake.  He made a beautiful detailed drawing and his picture matches his words. 
Enthusiastic Eastern Newt wrote " I hope to see tracks." He drew a fox and its burrow.  He left spaces between his words. His letters are big so we can see them. 

This is wise woodpecker.  We had to find three things that matched Mrs. T's.  When we found the things, we could go and play.  The game was called duplicate.

We were making the steam flow.  Bubbly Black Bear and Eastern Redback Salamander are making the dam flow.
Responsible Red Fox, Warm Woodland Jumping Mouse, and wise woodpecker were placing sticks.  They were trying to make the bridge more balanced.  We were getting little sticks and Woodland Jumping Mouse found a big log.  

We ate grilled cheese sandwiches today.  We made them in the forest.  We used bread and cheese and we grilled them over the fire. The griddle burned the bread a little bit. When we tasted them it tasted good. It tasted different from grilled cheese we have had at our house.

 In one station we were looking for things that started with different letters.  We were sounding out things in the forest. Brilliant Box Turtle is showing us his zipper. Zipper starts with Z.  
This is a picture of a pine cone.  Pine cone starts with P.  We are making a Forest Kindergarten Alphabet book.

 In another station we were looking for maple trees.  We found one and then Mrs. T asked us to spread out and find a tree that was not a maple tree. We had to tell her what was different about our tree.
Cheerful Chipmunk's dad drilled a hole in a tree.  No sap came out so we put a tap in.  We put a milk jug on the tree and when it fills up we can cook it. We will make maple syrup.

The temperature was 37 and then it changed to 41.  We had a good day.
