Outside or inside, winter weather brings lots to do.
February is a good month for skiing!
I went skiing at the Camden Snow Bowl over the weekend. It was around 25 degrees out although weather bug said that it felt more like 5 degrees. When I got to the mountain it was snowing big fat snowflakes. There was no sun shinning so I had to wear my clear goggles so I would be able to see.
The mountain was beautiful, you could see through the trees all the way to the top of the mountain and if you looked behind you while you were on the chair lift you can see the water. Skiing is a great fun and active activity for students to do. In the midcoast area the Snow Bowl will partner up with the local schools and give the students free lessons on how to ski and snowboard. All the school has to do is bring the students over on the bus and the Snow Bowl does the rest. Its a great opportunity for some students who wouldn't have been able to afford lessons on their own outside of the school setting.

Animal tracks:
I live in the woods so you can always spot all kinds of animal tracks, at my mothers house across the front yard I found tracks for crows, bunnies and a family of deer tracks. There was also cat tracks near the porch where we took my indoor cat outside and put her paws in the fresh snow to see how she would react.

Looking at Trees:
One thing I love to do it take pictures of trees, all in different seasons. Here you can see a lot of trees in the winter because that is the current season. But you can also see a local apple tree, a maple tree, and the Christmas tree that my Dad and I picked out for this past Christmas.
This is a great activity for students to do throughout the year. They can all pick a tree and photograph it through out the different seasons and they can see how the tree changes.
