We spent this week talking about animals in winter and what they do when the temps dip down. We talked about wild animals. We learned about winter activity and hibernation. First, we learned who hibernates.. chipmunks, some insects, mostly we talked about bears.
We decided to craft our own bear dens they could hibernate in for the winter on our nature table.

Then we learned about the bear mama lily and baby hope that live in Ely MN.
You can check them out here. It is a very informative website. Everything bear.
We made a rice bin this week so Tillie could play too.
Turns out everyone loves the rice bin!!
They played in it all day making the bears hide under the mountains.
We also talked about the animals that are still active in the winter... rabbits, squirrels, and mice. We learned about tracks in the snow.
on painting day we made our own tracks with potato stamps.
These are Matthew's dog prints
We went on a nature walk to find tracks down by the creek.
We think squirrel.
They pretended they were the wild animals making the tracks.
Bear hibernating.
We read great books that helped us all week
On modeling day we used our new clay to sculpt prints.
To break up our blustery winter more this week we went to underwater world. They had a huge jellyfish collection that was fun.
We also, went to a home schoolers gym time. It was at the community center. We got to play with a lot of other kids and meet other home schooling parents! It was great they had a good time and I think we will be going back.
This week I too started school. I want to bring the family more music. I do not want the music to come from a recording. The problem is I am not musically inclined what so ever. I decided to learn to read music and play an instrument. The classes are held at a Waldorf school so, I can get a feel for how they teach. It is great except I am really out of my element to say the least.
Next week it is about
snowflakes and tolerance
until then...
