// Week of Nov. 26: Curriculum Update //

We hope everyone had a lovely, restful, and delicious Thanksgiving with your family and friends!

We are happy to be back and the energy in the classroom is starting to show that everyone is excited and gearing up for the long winter break in December. This week we got right back to work and throughly enjoyed our weekly specials that were canceled last week due to the holiday. This week we also started to discuss what animals do in the winter and learned some new vocabulary — hibernation, migration and adaptation. We talked about bears, squirrels, badgers, hedgehogs, and mice and how they are currently scouring the earth for food and preparing for a long winter of sleep. We discussed how geese, ducks and even some fish and butterflies fly south to warmer climates. We also discussed how some animals like rabbits, leopards, and wolves adapt to their surroundings and survive even the harshest of winters. The children are so excited to celebrate our Hibernation Day on Friday, December 14th and we’ll send our more information on that soon!
