When Winter arrived, the meadow was a different place from when we had first visited in the Fall. The flowers and insects were gone. The green and gold of lush grasses and wild flowers had been replaced by the white, brown and gray of snow and dormant vegetation. The busy buzzing of insects and chirping birds had gone silent, but that didn't mean that there were no more interesting things to discover. The turning of the seasons gave our students new opportunities to make observations. They immediately noticed all the different animal tracks in the snow: evidence that there were still living things in the meadow! This led our students on an investigation of animal prints. Students were asked to make sketches of animal prints that they thought might be found in the meadow. Here are Areen's and Amir's sketches done on KidPix:
