How did it go for Winter Clothes?

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

So the best part about hibernation, migration, and adaptation, is you have a lot of recourses at your fingertips.

Examples:

1. The Local Zoo: every state has a zoo, technically more than one zoo. The zoos are the perfect place to take the kids to have them understand animals and what they do during winter. Our favorite spot at the Phoenix Zoo is the ponds where during the summer the turtles hang out. During the winter though they start their journey into the ponds and eventually make it down to the bottom to hibernate. If you didn’t know that fact, watch the Wild Kratts.

Turtles and frogs literally sleep at the bottom of the ponds by burrowing themselves under the mud. If you go to your local zoo, I’m pretty sure you can see a lot of the turtles doing just that. I know We did today.

2. Wild Kratts: this show is one of my kids favorites, and I will always use them as a resource when we do animal lessons. With hibernation, migration, and adaptation, they have quit a few episodes.

Voyage of a Butterfly explains the migration patterns of the monarch butterflies.

Under the Frozen Pond is one you can find about hibernation. It is the episode we like watching that talks About frogs and turtles.

For Adaptation there are plenty. Cuz every animal is unique. So to know what it does in the winter, you have to watch every episode to find out. Lol.

GROUND HOG WAKE UP CALL, EXPLORING THE AMERICAN WILDLIFE IN WINTER, WINTERTIME CREATURE POWERS, etc. are the episodes I found to help explain more about winter animals in general.

So Wild Kratts is a great resource.

3. Books: I know during covid the library isn’t the place to be, but find books to buy if you can, or even free downloads from the library digitally onto their tablets or kindles if you have them. Or do a shout out to friends to see if they have one you can barrow.

My favorite series of books is Bear and friends. Bear can’t sleep, Bear Snores on, and what’s perfect for the next couple of weeks is, Bear Stays Up for Christmas.

4. And finally the last recourse for this stuff is YouTube. They have more than just wild Kratts videos on hibernation. I just type in hibernation for kids and this list of videos pops up.

I mean even PinkFong got in the action. And look Bear Snores on. Even YouTube is reading the books aloud.

So it’s been a successful week thus far. I hope your weeks is going great.

Keep on rocking from home.
