Hibernation

There is something really special about heading over to a friends house for our Early Learners Group with special bear and blanket in hand and being confronted with a tent set up in the living room!
The girls spent the morning learning about hibernation, getting fat and then skinny again in their "cave" as one of the moms explored with them the lifestyle of bears preparing for winter, while the other moms, including myself, chatted quitely and munched on fresh blueberry muffins, oranges and tea.

Have I mentioned how much I love homeschooling?

After a full morning of dabbling in hibernation, migration, adaption - some talk on syllables and creating caves out of margarine containers and plasticine, the girls were comfortable spending a quiet afternoon at home together hibernating ourselves from the winter weather.
