We Went Looking for Winter!

It was cold and windy out, but we found a few moments and a lot of layers, and out we went to the woods. The children found ice to stamp on, branches to carry, and bits of snow here and there. There was a Pirate Ship, and a Chipmunk House, and bridges to cross. Just enough winter for a few moments of fun!

this is a journal entry: all of us walking across the bridge!

it felt good to be back inside!

a winter afternoon!

We bundled up and headed out to a spot near the school to roll in the snow, pick up sticks, climb on logs, and find some winter fun. The children weathered the cold well, and we spent just enough time outside before coming in for hot chocolate and cookies! There's a lot to discover in the winter woods, and we did our best to discover it!
Until Next Time,

something to look closely at

Out in a Bit of Snow

 Hills were to be slid or rolled down, footprints were to be looked at, and sticks were to be found! We got outside for a bit this afternoon, and found lots of animal tracks and even some tracks that were made "in the moment". We know that it's difficult to move in all that wonderful warm clothing, so we limited our walk to the woods. Still, it was just enough!
Until Next Time,

"before"

these tracks were made by punching a fist into the snow!

"after"

coming down the hill...

We were ready to get outside today, and after bundling up we bundled out into the snow.
A perfect day for some perfect snow play!
Until next time,
Michele
