This week mother nature brought us cold and frosty days.  As we made our way to the forest, the kids were quick to notice that the water in our ditch was frozen over and we were gifted with ICE!!!  The kids spent a good chunk of their outdoor time walking, sliding, shimmying, balancing, and yes, falling.  We discussed ice and how to carefully walk across it and how we can use our arms to help us balance.  Lots of gross motor play!.
