Four Winds- Squirrels

Today we had another fabulous morning of Four Winds! The children learned all about squirrels: where they live, what they eat, and some big differences between red and grey squirrels. They pretended to hide nuts around the classroom like a squirrel and got to look closely (like scientists!) at squirrel skulls and squirrel hides/tails.

Here's what the kids wanted to share with you that they learned:
I didn't know that a grey squirrel is bigger than a red squirrel (Sam)
Squirrels have bones (Hiwot)
We found a whole body with a tail (Mitchell)
We found a body and the tail wasn't attached (McKinley)
