Forest Friday, March 9th

"I hope to sled." ~Mannered Meadow Vole

"I hope to see a bird." ~Relaxed Red Fox

We wrote in our journals before we went outside.  We have learned all of our uppercase and lowercase letters.  We are working on learning various sight words.  These sight words are words that we see most often in books, such as the, and, is, etc.  In our journals we are also working on stretching our words out slowly to hear different sounds.

There was so much snow in the forest!  The trek up the hill was a little slippery and we could hardly see a trail and so we made our own trail.  After sit spots we sat around our fire pit and shared what we noticed in nature.

During play time there were several activities going on at once.  Some of us helped Mr. Sadowski with snack.  Some of us warmed our hands by the fire while others found great sledding runs down slippery rocks! 

For snack we had pancakes.  We mixed and mixed the ingredients so that there weren't any lumps.  Before tasting the pancakes we got to have a small little pour of delicious maple syrup.  All of us loved the pancakes!

Overall we had a fantastic first day back in the forest!
