Forest Art

First graders made it out to the forest today!  Our trip through the woods was magical with all of the fresh snow clinging to the trees.  What a beautiful place to be! 
As Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and we have been thinking about what we are thankful for, we carried that discussion into the woods.  We read a book about taking care of our earth and everything on it, and that inspired us to think about all the amazing things in nature that we are thankful for.  After sharing ideas, the students then created pictures in the snow of the many things in nature that they are thankful for.  So many artists busy creating - it was a beautiful scene!
