Hunter: “My plan is to find deer and scat.” He wrote “deer,” “scat,” turkey tracks,” and “gulch.”

Finn: “I’m going to look for leaves, roots, and scat.”

Grace: “I’m going to try to find some scat.” She drew and labeled a turkey.

Eleanor’s plan. I didn’t get a chance to read it with her, so I’m not sure if she wants to slide, see, or sit in water. Based on her picture, I am guessing slide!

Zoey: “Me and Elijah are going to look for turkey tracks.”

Elijah: “We are looking for turkey tracks.” He also labeled “the scat.”

Elliana: “Me and Kenzie are going to find deer and turkeys.”

Mrs. Johnson’s class came out with us today. Here are Elijah and Camden in their Sit Spot.

Colton and Elizabeth. We hear a lot when we are very quiet.

Avery and Leah.

Celia and Nadia.

We got super muddy today, sliding and also climbing on the very long log. The big root ball at the end was ALL mud. We wrote “sticky mud” here. 

So we rolled in the snowy field to clean off!

And made snow angels. On our front and our back!

The result? CLEAN!

We make big snowballs. We figured out that it was easier to roll them from the field into the woods than up the hill!

We slide down the hills. You can see the bumps, sticks, mud, and log at the bottom. Not for the faint of heart!

We find tracks. This is a turkey track– you can clearly see the three toes in front and one in back. We also found a lot of turkey scat.

We also found lots of deer tracks. They have two toes.

Sometimes the snowballs got too big to move. Even when you run across the field at them full speed.

A snowman! Who needs a carrot or pieces of coal?

We Love Sliding.

Good old turkey scat.

This was an airplane, with kids listening to Weatherwoman Eleanor and quickly evacuating every time a hurricane blew through.

We also explored farther down the ravine and into the wetland. We found this climbing tree and called the area Puddle Playground because of all the water.
