A discovery on the forest floor that lead to conversations about death and dying. A wee mouse lay on the edge of the path we frequently walk along. The children shared many ideas about how the mouse may have died. One child suggested it was frozen, as it looked like it had died while in motion. Another suggested a bear may have stepped on it while walking along the path. After many ideas were shared, it was decided that we bury the mouse near a tree and lay it to rest.
