Thursday November 25

Today we continued to learn about hibernation. We took a closer look at bears and explore some non fiction stories about bears. We had many inquiries and wonders about bears and made a list of questions we want to know more about. We looked at how bears prepare for hibernation. And watched a video of some bears getting their den ready for hibernation. Ask your child how they prepare their den for hibernation.

We did a science experiment to learn about the bears fur and their layer of fat that helps keep them insulated and warm during the winter months. We explored this by feeling ice on our hands and then using a layer of fat (butter) and placing the ice over the fat. Ask your child what they noticed. 

We played a math domino game in pairs. We are practicing how to recognize numbers in a small set (subitizing) and then count on from that set. 

The children had music and gym today. 

Tomorrow there is NO school due to parent teacher conferences. You will receive a link in your email to the virtual meet. We look forward to meeting with you this evening and tomorrow.
