Whales Study The Mystery Of Migration
/Last week, the Whales were assigned a migrating animal to complete some research on at home. We spent this week teaching one another about what we had learned. We found out that many of the animals that migrate are birds, but there are insects, aquatic animals and mammals that migrate as well! We were thrilled to listen and learn about the distances each migrating animal traveled, and learn more cool facts about our migrating friends.
We spent time being migrating geese, honking and trying to fly in a V-formation. We discovered that being a migrating bird is hard work! We also played a game that took us through the many obstacles that migrating birds must go through in order to reach their final destination. We had to read and measure, and read some more. It was great fun!
At our storytelling table, we worked together creating tales about people who migrate to different climates. During our guided meditations this week, we imagined becoming our migrating animal as we concentrated on slowing our bodies and minds through deep breaths and calm images formed in our minds.
Whales are scientists, mathematicians, readers, storytellers and meditation experts!
