I hope this email finds you doing well. I wanted to get this out earlier than later, as this is a very busy time of year. After Thanksgiving break, our class will be learning about Hibernation and the difference between Hibernation, Migration, and Adaptation. With that being said, I am going to need your help!:)
The week before Thanksgiving Break, November 16th-20th, we will be building a "cave" in the classroom. I would love it if each student would bring in a "hibernating" animal (Bear, Frog, Bat, Fox, Skunk, Squirrel, Snake) on November 18th. We will then place the animals in our "cave" and they will stay there all of break and up until December 4th- when we "wake" them up! (we will just pretend its spring time ;) )
Before break, I will discuss very briefly with the students what we are doing and what we will be learning about once we return to school. Our animals will be very hungry before they take their long winter nap- so when sending in your "hibernating" animal, please send a small bag as well of one of the following to feed the animal before they hibernate.
( grass, nuts, leaves, dried berries, fish crackers, flowers, dried fruit)
This will be a fun and exciting unit to have after a long break off! :)
Thank you again for all of your continued support in your child's education. I will send out a reminder notice- as November 18th approaches
