Animals In Winter - Whales Study Hibernation
/The Whales began a new unit of study this week about northwest animals that hibernate in order to survive the cold winter months. We are studying the Common Garter Snake, Little Brown Bat, Oregon Black Bear and Northwest Painted Turtle. Students gathered in small groups to complete a research paper, then worked together to create hibernation sites that included all the elements their animal would need to make its home for the cold winter months. The creation of the sites was hard work, but our young Whales are practiced at working together to get even challenging things done! Next week, we hope to finish our hibernation sites, and share our research with preschool friends and family.
