On Monday we took a short walking trip into the woods right behind school to look for ways that the woods environment had changed from October. We were lucky to still have snow on the ground at that point and found tracks right away. Then we were very lucky to discover that beavers had been busy in the stream and on land in the woods. We investigated a tree that had been chewed on, a beginning of a lodge being built and spots where the beavers had climbed out of the stream and moved around on land. We were so excited! Then we went up into the fields and rolled some gigantic snowballs and formed a caterpillar. As we were walking back towards Mary Hogan to get ready for dismissal, a Kindergartner spoke up and said, "Hey Mrs. Schondube, we can change the environment, too, with all our snowballs we made in the field!" Connections are so awesome!
