Hibernation

This week we learned about hibernation. We learned that animals who hibernate will go to sleep at the end of fall, sleep all through the winter, and then wake up in the spring. We talked about how not all animals hibernate; bears, frogs, snakes, woodchucks, lady bugs, turtles, and squirrels hibernate. Cats, dogs, monkeys, whales, and pigs do not hibernate. Today the kids were able to wear pajamas to school for our hibernation celebration. We had cupcakes to celebrate Armani's birthday, then we went into the small gym with Mrs. Madison's class to watch Happy Feet. We rolled out big mats and kept it dark in case anyone wanted to hibernate instead of watching the movie.

Today we also had Show-and-Tell for the first time. We did very well listening to our friends present and speak about their special items. There were some really interesting items for Show-and-Tell. Please encourage your child to bring something each Friday for Show-and-Tell- part of the NY State Standards for Pre-K involves presentation and having the children becoming comfortable with speaking and presenting in front of their peers.

Reminder: No School this coming Monday, January 21st!

Show-and-Tell

R's toy that when you look through it on one end you see a lot of something, on the other end you see just one.

E's magic wand- the kids had fun thinking of words for magic spells.

Godzilla! He's made of plastic and his head turns all the way around.

  

Star Wars figures and a car- we thought the car was a ship, but K proved us wrong and showed that it had wheels.
C brought a teddy bear from when she was a baby, but everyone thought it was a rabbit because it had a rabbit ears hat.

D's picture of she and her sister.

The Incredible Hulk! He's very tall and big, and could be used as a chair to sit on.

J's dancing Mickey Mouse- the kids loved his crazy moves.
