Today we had circle time outside. We walked on over to the wooded area on the outskirts of the parking lot, sat down and had circle time. We read a few Fall books. One book was about a bear that knows it is almost time for a Winter nap.
But first she must tell snail and snail must tell turtle etc. Each animal who tries to put off going to sleep just a little longer sees, smells, hears, tastes signs of of the impending season.
We looked for signs of Winter up in the sky (the bare trees), and down on the ground (leaves). We talked about hibernation and some way animals prepare for the Winter(birds fly south, squirrels gather berries and nuts etc).
Did Max find any more slugs or worms? Not sure what he's going to do (or ask us to do) when the ground freezes.
