Hibernation is not only something we learn about through books and photographs, but it's also fun to experience it first hand by pretending and role-playing. The children in Room 5 wore their pajamas and brought in Teddy Bears to school to help them enjoy the total experience of eating a full snack and hibernating in imaginary caves. First the children sang songs and danced with their Teddy Bears until they were good and tired. Then they all filled their bellies with a special snack of Teddy Grahams, Cool Whip and Graham Crackers. For the favorite part of the learning experience, the children went into the caves (tables and blankets), and slept until they smelled signs of spring. If you come and visit Room 5, you will also see a beautiful display of bears hibernating in a snow covered cave.
SEE YOU IN THE SPRING!!!!
