Hibernation, Adaptation, Migration-
During the winter months is a great time to learn about Hibernation, Migration, and Adaptation. Migration is seasonal movement of animals from one region to another. Such as all those birds flying south in the Fall. Hibernation is the condition or period of an animal or plant spending the winter in a state of dormancy. Bears and even reptiles and amphibians. Sometimes Mr. John in his man cave with a TV remote in hand. Adaptation is the action or process of being adapted or adapting. Over time animals may develop thicker fur during the colder months or have blubber to keep them warm in arctic weather.

*Adaptation… we found how it feels to have a layer of blubber like a penguin. They placed one hand in water without butter and one in a bag of butter. Needless to say we had some very cold hands.*

Did You Know(Neck Ties = Brain Damage, lol):

Wearing a necktie can reduce blood flow to the brain up to 7.5%. This can happen because the tie squeezes the arteries and veins in your neck. No wonder I was in a fog when I worked in the business world.

*One of my favorite shows as a child was “Lancelot Link*, Secret Chimp. *They were talking chimps that were spies.*

She is intently working on the 100 Board. The Hundred Board is a key Montessori Mathematics material, which helps children make the leap from the recognition of numbers, to understanding how they belong in a sequence.

*She is working on the Continent Puzzle Map that is found in the Cultural Subjects Area*. Montessori continent puzzle maps teach children geography through hands on exploration. They help children understand the world by building spatial awareness and a sense of the relative sizes and locations of continents and countries.
