G is for Goldilocks: Goldilocks and the three...DINOSAURS

Today we discovered a new book about Goldilocks. But this time she didn't go to the house of the bears. This time, she went to the house of Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur... and a Dinosaur who happened to be visiting from Norway.

One Day, for no particular reason, they decided to tidy up their house, make the beds and prepare chocolate pudding. They were definitely not setting a trap for some succulent little girl.

We don't hibernate!!!!

This big polar bears don't hibernate in winter, and they live in the Arctic Circle. Even more, they
spend a lot of time in the water, really cold water.

How can they do it?

To answer this question, we are going to do two things:

PIJAMA DAY

Finally, Pyjama Day is here!!! The teacher was ready to sleep for hours, but it looked like she was the only one...

So we decided to work!! And we chose this Robert Munch book: PYJAMA DAY.

Andrew found perfect pyjamas, that made him sleep right away. That is not a good idea if you are at school and it is Pyjama Day.

I is for Irene: Duck at the Door

We have been working with animals that hibernate in winter, but there are other animals that actually
don't hibernate. Instead, they migrate to a warmer region during winter time.

In this funny book, Max decided NOT to migrate with his flock, and it was a big problem, but not just for him, but also for Irene.

Hibernation Science

We have had two "bears" in the room today: A black bear and a brown bear.  Both were warm when they went into their caves, ready to hibernate. The bears are actually two towels, that were warmed up with a hair dryer. We quickly fold the "brown bear" in half and half again, then roll up tightly.  But we didn't fold the "black bear". We compared the warmth of the two towels.  We found that the rolled towel retained more heat, just as a hibernating animal stays warm by curling itself up in a ball.

La tortuga que no queria dormir

Es invierno, hora de dormir durante meses. La tortuga estaba casi preparada, pero sus amigos no le dejaban dormir, hasta que llegó el león y lo arregló todo.

Sopas para el Niño Jesús

Y un villancico tambien en español:

Christmas Concert

Getting ready for the concert, and we need to practice this beautiful song:

Hibernation song

H is for Hibernation: Time to Sleep

Ready to hibernate? Winter is coming, and all the animals in the forest are getting ready to sleep. 

Bear sniffed once. She sniffed twice. "I smell winter in the air," said Bear. "It is time to crawl into my cave and sleep. But first I must tell..."

F is for Frederick

Five little mice are getting ready for winter. But they don't need just food. Frederick knows that they will need more that corn, wheat, berries or nuts if they want to be happy inside their hole.

B is for Bear: The very Cranky Bear

In the Jingle Jangle Jungle, a quartet of comical animals take refuge from a storm in a cave but bear is not happy to be awakened from his sleep.
Determined to cheer him up, Moose, Lion, and Zebra adorn the bear with antlers made from branches, a mane made from grass, and stripes painted on with mud. Only Sheep thinks beyond her own perspective.

Do you remember what Sheep did to make bear happy?
