Hibernation to Spring

   
While focusing on hibernation we started to talk about
when do we know it is spring.

We talked about which animals hibernate and which don’t. 
We talked about when the animals would wake. 
What signs of spring would we see?
    
When these children were helping the bears to come out
of their cave, I asked them that question. 
M responded by looking at the tree beside the cave
and saying “we see buds’.

So with just ten minutes left in the morning she pulled
the tree over to the art area. 
I pulled out tissue paper and they got to work.
 
After they cut or ripped the paper they crumpled it into balls
and we hot glued it to the branches.
 
When it was clean up time we left the materials for others to continue
                               tomorrow.
