Prints in the Snow

This morning started off with both excitement and surprise. The snow was coming down in huge flakes! All of the Pine kids were anxious to get outside and see it on the playscape. We bundled up and headed outside 

"Where did all these footprints come from?!"

E was surprised to see the hundreds of footprints around the playscape heading in every direction. 

"How did they get here?"

"But there aren't many over there. We should make some over there too!"

T & B were also enjoying making a different kind of print in the snow. Hand prints! The two boys took turns touching the cold snow while making shivering noises and giggling. 

The snow provides so many different kinds of observations. While some kids focused on the snow falling and the size of the flakes, E saw how the kids interrupted the stillness and made prints with their feet and hands. She saw how we were impacting the snow.
