How Animals
Survive the Winter (Grades K-2 with support)
When the weather starts to
get cold, we start to wear more clothes.
We stop wearing shorts and t-shirts outside, and start wearing hats and
mittens, warm coats and boots. We stay
in our warm houses when the snow and wind are blowing.
What do animals
do to stay warm during the winter? I
have never seen a bear wearing boots, and where do all the turtles go? I need your help! What can I teach the class about animals in
the winter?

THE CHALLENGE: Find out how THREE animals survive
the winter. Draw pictures showing the
animals in winter, or make a book about the animals to show what you have
discovered. You will help me teach the
class about what animals do in the winter by sharing your creation and
discoveries during Morning Meeting.
