The first full week of 2020 provided lots of fun learning on the Timberwolf Trail. One of my school year resolutions was to be increase our tie outside, focusing on natural play.
One of the newest adventures is searching for antler sheds and digging up dinosaur bones AKA oak roots.
We also have started to dig deeper into the world of birds. One of our first activities was exploring various artifacts to conjure up thoughts and wonderings about our feathered friends.
We also started our very first recycle art project. This will be part of our future recycle sale for the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Stay tuned!
After some more service work repairing trail tread with wood chips, we created some winter yoga poses and practiced them "rapid fire."

More play was on the agenda.
One of our parents generously donated some time to continue our exploration of antler sheds. We watched a video,
explored a shed and other deer artifacts this family found, and
searched for our own sheds. We found plenty of sticks that looked like sheds, but no real sheds. . .yet.
We also. . .drumroll please. . . . . . .played!
We reviewed migration with two awesome picture books as well.
We love his programs as they are entertaining, interactive, and informative.
If you don't know what these five cards represent, ask a nature kindergartener. 😀
We also dug deep into more amazing artifacts and reconnected with some animal friends.
Time for more yoga!

We wrapped up the week with a wonderful walk around the trail to inventory our nesting boxes and platforms. Once spring returned, the students will adopt a birdbox that will be responsible for in terms of observing and identifying what bird buddies nest on the trail.
And play. 😁
