This day, the temperature above zero. When we arrived, MK was fascinated by the bird feeder he had place beside the shed 2 weeks before. Someone had altered it. The hole was much bigger and it had not been made with scissors; it was a zigzag.
Provocation: Students were invited to make tags with their names to place somewhere in the forest. The OFN educators reinforced positional language with the students (e.g., plus loin, plus proche)
Play: Staying close to the cabin, the Owl Parliament began to play, using sticky snow which we discovered was ideal for building forts. Then they flew off for a walk to a new part of Trail 12.
Meanwhile, the wolves built small objects like BB-8 or snow squirrels after their hike to the Rocky and Mossy Place.
MA and SA found an entrance to what they called the “Secret Kingdom” or the subnivean level. Fascinated by how animals survive in the winter.
Sit Spots: We retold the story of the wisest person in the world and asked students to see if wisdom would come to them? Not even a snowshoer walking beside us with his dog could disturb the students
