The day that we played in the snow!

 "I hope to see a snowman."
 "I hope to make a snowman."
"I hope to see a fire."

We came in late today because of the two hour delay.  As everyone arrived we wrote our journal entries to share how we were hoping to spend our time outside.  Since there was some fresh snow we were excited to play in it!

So many of us tasted the snow when we went outside.  Mr. Sadowski warned us against it (since animals tend to make a mess of the snow), but since it was newly fallen we couldn't help ourselves!

Our walk up the hill was slippery and fun. We're hoping to try snowshoeing when we get a little more snow.
Our fire area looked a little different when we arrived. The benches were covered in snow and we could barely see the fire pit at all!
Since it was a short day we got right to playing.  We pretended to be animals crawling through the snow.  Some of us slid off of the steep rocks which were slick.  Others were cleaning up our space with shovels.
When we came inside we enjoyed some hot chocolate with powdered donuts. What a treat! We even got to put some whipped cream on top!  Some of us dunked our donuts and that made them even better.

We can't wait to go back into the woods after our time away from school. It will be fun to see if it snows more while we are on vacation!
