Where did all the animals go?? It's time to talk about hibernating! The children learned about several different animals that hibernate in the winter. They also discussed exactly what it means to hibernate.

After talking about Black Bears,
they made their own Black Bear mask! |
 |
| Cutest Black Bear I've ever seen! |
We also talked about some winter animals, especially Penguins, which seem to be a favorite!
The children also learned about blubber and how it keeps some animals warm in the winter. To help them better understand this concept, they did a little experiment! We created a "glove" from ziploc bags and crisco. We then had 2 bowls of ice cold water. The children put one hand in the "glove" before putting both hands in the water. The hand with the glove (or blubber) was much warmer than just their bare hand!

| What a fun project! |
Our letter this week was X! With such a limited amount of X words, we talked about the Xylophone a lot!
