Such a wonderful afternoon snowshoeing in the warm sunshine. This afternoon many of the children made mathematical connections with some of the natural things we found in the snow. One of the children shared that we are supporting Global Goal #3 because we are getting exercise in the fresh air. One child shared: "Mrs. D. being outside helped my learning!"
