We took advantage of the milder temperatures and fantastic snow conditions to have a short ECO session at school on Wednesday. Our focus was on foxes in winter and we began by building fox tunnels and homes in the lower field. Once students homes were finished they were invited to come to fox school with Victoria, where they learned how to hunt for mice under the deep snow: walk very softly, listen very carefully, and when you hear a mouse, give a little wiggle and pounce. We learned that foxes can hear mice under six feet of snow. Once students had mastered the pounce we scattered colored "mice" ice cubes for them to hunt and collect.  After practicing some fox calling, we finished up with a fox story and some tea.
