Another Windy Day in the Forest!

Due to the forecasted weather conditions, Mrs. Sparrow and Ms. Black Bear decided that it was too hazardous to go up to our forest spot. We spent the day on the ball field and in parts of the forest. We had a blast. Any day outside is a great day. It was warm outside today! It was also wet because it had rained the day before. We started the day with our forest meeting and stations. We got to choose from tracking, snowshoeing, or putting on a play for our friends.  Then, we had free play and we all were so excited to play in the huge puddle! Check it out!

Red Tailed Hawk is digging a hole and looking at water on the baseball during sit spots.

Cotton Tailed Bunny is making a snow angel.

Woodpecker dug a hole and found dirt from the baseball diamond.

Opossum was keeping her face warm during sit spots and eating snow!

Raccoon was digging in the snow and found red sand and then made a little fort around herself. Mr. Raccoon was watching.

Coyote was sharing what she did at sit spots. She was starting to make an igloo.

Forest Friday Kids were getting reading to snowshoe. "When we were coming down the hill, we saw deer scat," said Raccoon.

We found a track. I wonder what it is!

Grey squirrel was wondering if a deer needed a drink.  There were deer tracks near the river.  There was a lot of water in our brook.

We performed the play The Red Fox and the Canoe!

Bat is in the canoe we made.

Newt was snowshoeing. "It was a little scary. My favorite part was when I wasn't falling," said Newt.

The Snowshoers were trying to find deer tracks while hiking up the hill. Skunk was sad that she could not go off the trail.

Opossum was eating "fish" while sitting at the end of the canoe.

Grey Fox was playing in the big puddle. She got very wet!

We were playing in the water. Skunk's hands were cold so she ran across the puddle.  Grey Squirrel's feet were wet. Opossum loved the puddle.

During Music we played tag. Ms. P played the slide whistle. We sang a song about a grizzly bear.

Here is a glimpse into our sit spots for the day!

In the afternoon we all had a chance to work on researching our forest animals, writing this blog, and creating animal art with Miss Karner.

Have a great long holiday weekend! See you in the Forest next Friday!
