We have been learning about what animals do in winter. We also have an ongoing theme this year about the 5 senses and have studied an animal to explore each sense. Today we put on our snowshoe hare ears and sat in our hola hoop burrows for a few minutes, trying to listen for things we could hear that we could not see. The little hares heard cars, the wind in the trees, and a bird…It was so refreshing to be out in the snow and sunshine today!
PS Can you guess which animals we will learn about next? What animal has an extra strong sense of touch? How about taste?

Miss Hedda came out to the yurt to teach us about native seeds and their benefits. This lesson was sparked by the student's interest in seeds they had collected in the fall from plants surrounding the yurt. They planted some to overwinter and spread the rest around the grounds.
