Sand Creek


Hello everyone!

We are so happy and grateful to begin a new year and ready to learn about the winter season...even though we haven't really had a winter up to this point.  We're looking at animals that adapt to this season.  It is very interesting to see how animals in different countries are able to survive during very cold and freezing weather.  The children are learning about animals that hibernate during the winter months and how long they can go without eating or drinking as they go into sleep mode.

The children also learned about Eskimos, people that live in very cold and freezing places like Alaska, Canada, Russia and Greenland.  It's really amazing how they have adapted to the cold and survive in these extreme temperatures.  Now we are anxiously waiting for the month of February to come around...can't wait to decorate the computer lab and celebrate San Valentine's Day!  Hope everybody is enjoying this beautiful day!
