Hibernation

Thursday Jan 13
We learned about Hibernation. We talked about the letter H and the number 2 , and the color brown.
For our project they made bear caves. For a snack they made a bear cave out of graham crackers and put bear crackers in them. After the snack they played the Hibernation game, one boy in the middle pretending to be a bear hibernating, the other boys sitting around him, someone would poke the "bear" and then we all yelled "Wake up, Bear!" the bear would wake up and try to guess who poked him. Then we talked about what Hibernation was and what animals hibernated. We then read the book 'Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?" We then made stain glass bears with contact paper and tissue paper.
