January

January has brought us a lot of snow, over 12" in a week! We built a giant snow cave with multiple rooms and painted it, tracked animals through the forest and creek, made ice ornaments, went sledding and boot ice skating, and found lots of ice features in the big creek.

How many kids can fit inside the cave?

The cave worked great as a penguin slide too!

Making ice ornaments with string, plants, and water. It's been cold enough for them to freeze during class!
