Hello Families,

Have you ever been on a bear hunt? Were you afraid?  Preschoolers went on a pretend bear hunt with the use of our imaginations! It was quite an experience. Followed by creating 3D binoculars to continue on our imagination trips. During circle we introduced MIGRATE and ADAPT in addition to HIBERNATE. We used the traffic light colors to make a connection with each category, as we charted animals that migrate, adapt and hibernate.  As animals that migrate, go (green) to a warmer environment. Animals that adapt slow down (like the yellow light), as the winter gets too cold to go out much. And animals that hibernate stop(red light) and go to sleep. During choice time we also created 3D bear caves to be used with small hibernating animals during free play, the individual caves will be coming home soon. And finally we used our eye hand coordination to pour water onto different measuring cups and practice our fine motor.

Have a great day,

Arelhy
