Tues Dec 6 Forest Walk

On Tuesday we went on a walk through the forest and discovered evidence of  natural life.
We saw a few tracks , a squirrel and nests in  the forest.

Dog prints or wolf  prints  we wonder ???

Looks like rabbit tracks or could be squirrel tracks .

We have to be quiet to walk in nature sh,sh,sh

Spots where the snow has melted and we see leaves and roots.

 We were quiet and saw a squirrel in this big nest.

 there goes the squirrel.

The squirrel is  great climber and jumper plus a fast runner.

 A tiny nest for a small bird.

  A close up of  plant life under the snow.

  We still see evidence of seeds in the burrs that Jordyn' hat caught from the bush.

 

We love nature.

Snowman Poem

There was a little snowman with a carrot nose.

Along came a bunny and what do you suppose.

This hungry little bunny was looking for his lunch.

He ate that snowman's carrot nose

Crunch, crunch , crunch.

 

 

Winter Wonderland

 

Sleigh bells ring are you listening

In the lane snow is glistening

A beautiful sight we are happy tonight

Walking in a winter wonderland.

 

Gone away is the blue bird

Here to stay is the new bird

He sings a love song as we go along

Walking in a winter  wonderland.

 

In the meadow we can build a snowman.

Then pretend he's a circus clown.

We will have some fun with mister snowman .

Until  the other kids knock him down.

 

Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire

The face unafraid the plans that we made

Walking in a winter wonderland.

 

no music, singing

Walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland

 

no sound , signing

Walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland

 

 

 

The highlighted words have signs.

 

Have a great weekend.
