We wrapped up our unit on Cold Weather Animals with a fun-filled day of hibernation! The students came to school dressed in their furriest clothing, brought healthy snacks to eat all day long (to make sure they could store enough food & have energy for the long winter hibernation), read books, and we had 'Celebrity Readers' come into the classroom all day long to read to the students while they hibernated in their sleeping bags. This is a special treat for Second Graders and it is a day that they remember for years to come
In the weeks prior, students read about, researched, and learned many new facts about cold-weather animals. Some of these animals included: arctic foxes, snowy owls, polar bears, penguins, seals, whales, lynxes, wolves, and many more. Students worked independently and in groups to gather information, make books, write paragraphs, and view pictures of some these animals. They worked very hard to earn this special day.
