Today we read a couple of storybooks about hibernation along with a non-fiction video on the subject. We noticed that authors often make story themes about real creatures and some of their true habits, but most of the story is fictional. When reading A Loud Winter's Nap , we discovered true information- Tortoises hibernate in winter while some other creatures like rabbits, squirrels and beavers are up and about. We also discovered a lot of fictional parts- Tortoises do not sleep with pillows and stuffies and talk with the other animals. It reminds us to think critically when reading about what parts are true and what parts are made up by the authors. Author's often have animals behave like humans! We have started our discussion about how we are going to present information about how animals survive winter at our December assembly. We decided we might make a skit, so we were looking for inspiration in some fiction books.
We had lots of fun curling again with our Rocks and Rings residency. Don't forget to send back your permission slip for our curling trip on the 18th.
