Outdoor Adventure

Hello Everyone,

Today the MacWandsons’ had a wonderful walk in the woods. After many days of being cooped up due to the extremely cold temperatures, today seemed like a great day for exploration! We all grabbed our sticks and off we went.

Along the way we had some very interesting discoveries. One student thought they found a beaver dam. While another Sk student thought that someone had come into the woods and cut down some trees and left them in a pile. As we were searching to find the pond, many students wondered if the pond was under the pile of sticks and if they really did find a beaver dam?! The topic of hibernation was also thrown out in our conversation. Believe it or not many of our students knew what this big word meant while others are inquiring about it. We are excited to see where this leads us as a class!

As we continued we also found a tree that looked to be a good spot for animals to curl up in during the colder weather. The students wondered what types of animals might use this space.  One student thought it would be a good rabbit hole.

 

After a long walk and some great discoveries we all took a rest and made some snow angles in the woods. We talked about how we could see more animals in the woods if we were quiet so we wouldn’t scare them away.

We did make it to the pond after a long walk and had a wonderful time getting there. We are looking forward to our next adventure!
