E.C.O.: Becoming Squirrels!

On Tuesday, we learned about ways that squirrels meet their needs to survive winter, such as collecting and storing food.  Carrie taught us that squirrels need to eat 7.5% of their body weight every day in order to survive.  We discussed how that would be like a 50 pound kid eating almost 3.75 lbs of food every day!   Next, we acted like squirrels and tried to gather enough food for one winter day.
