Can you imagine what it would be like to be a polar bear in the winter!? Well, Gan Aleph did just that! The child
ren were bursting with excitement on Thursday as they brought in their favorite "sleeping" items from home (stuffed animals, pillows etc.). We be
gan our class hibernation by searching around the room for cups of food that were hidden. As each child found their food, they ate and ate and ate until they felt full. We then snuggled up with our favorite nighttime belongings and pretended that our body temperatures dropped and our heart rate slowed. We "slept" and slept and slept...until spring came! The children yawned, stretched and awakened when they heard it was spring time. This activity put the children in the
place of a polar bear and he
lped them imagine what it would be like to be a polar bear in winter. Above all, it was just plain FUN!
