 Baby It's Cold Outside!!!!

We arrived at school today and it was BELOW Zero and the Wind Chill was -23 F! Mrs. Sparrow and Ms. Black Bear had thankfully thought ahead and rearranged our day with the hope of going outside once the weather had warmed up! We were so happy! We really wanted to go outside and play in the snow.  We started our day with the same routine of writing our Forest Plan and then we met together of an inside Forest Meeting in the Kindergarten room.

Our activity time was shifted to inside stations. We were excited! Check out the pictures. We got to make our very own neck warmer with the help of Mrs. Sparrow and her amazing sewing machine. Mrs. Eckert worked with us to create fire starters to use outside to light our fire pit and our Kelly Kettles. Mrs. Karner taught us how to make snowflakes! We had so much fun. We were hoping to go outside at 10, but unfortunately it was still TOO cold.

We stayed inside for PE and Music as well as Lunch AND Recess. The temperature was finally warm enough after lunch to go outside in the woods. Hooray. We went up to pack the trail so we could still climb up to our site after Winter Break. We cleaned our area with shovels and then had time to play! Thanks Mrs. T for coming out and helping us out! Thanks as well to Mr. Raccoon and Mrs. Red Tail Hawk for you help and flexibility!

Happy Holidays! Enjoy your time off with you families and we will see you in the New Year for more Forest Kid adventures!
