We've started our units on Winter and all the things associated with the cold weather. The children had a mini unit on hibernation and migration and learned about how some animals sleep through the cold months and some fly to warmer areas. We made some great art with bears in caves and birds flying south. They really enjoyed learning about how frogs sleep under the ice all winter long. helped us chip away at the remaining ice until we could free all of the animals from it. They talked to each other about how cold the ice was and how even though the water we poured was "hot" as soon as it hit the ice it too became cold. The children also worked on some beautiful snow globes and mittens that will be decorating our center for awhile. We are very excited about what February will bring and working on our Valentine's day mailboxes. The kids can't wait to change our calendar from January to February.
