Mrs. Kristin's PreK class celebrated learning about animals in winter with a Hibernation Day. They wore their PJs, brought stuffed animals that hibernate and did activities all day with them, such as making them a den, sorting them, and using them during choice centers. They ended the day making patterns, sorting and counting with their fish and bear snack.
