Snow Day #4

Texas weather isn't just about 100-degree summers!  One of the reasons Mrs. Alaniz loves being a Texan is that the weather conditions are always so varied!
This week our area was hit by a winter storm bringing ice and temperatures in the teens.  Today, DFW received 6 inches of snow! School has been closed, and Mrs. Alaniz is wondering how her students are using their time.  
Video games?
Books? 
Building snowmen?

Is anyone using the time to learn something new or study a topic of interest? 
Mrs. Alaniz ventured out Friday and took pictures of the winter wonderland outside her door. 
She found these tracks in her front yard. 
Who (or what)  left these tracks?  It's a mystery!
Besides wondering about animal tracks, Mrs. Alaniz is wondering about something else. (Asking yourself questions leads to discovering interesting things.)
How can the students in 4D learn from each other even if they  are not in the same space?
Mrs. Alaniz will be seeking the answer to this question (and others)today.
She may never find out the owner of the tracks, though.

    Wow, maybe the mysterious tracks are rabbit tracks. Because I see a bunch of little bunnies hoppin' around my abode. But maybe they are squirell tracks...

    I think this post is so intresting. I thing theese tracks might belong to a racoon, or maybe a squirrel. Dont you think we could study animal traacks and figure out what animal it is?

    What do you think they are?I think it might be a bobcat.I think it is smart to not find out because it might be dangerous.

    Wow, those look mysterious! It really could be any animal. I wonder if those footprints belong to a dangerous species!
