Pajama and Hibernation Day at Kindernook

Posted

Students at Kindernook Preschool have been busy learning about various animals and their adaptations for cold weather. A “Beary” fun culmination to the study was a special “Hibernation Day.” Students were invited to wear their pajamas and bring a furry friend to class. “Going on a Bear Hunt” was just one of the many adventures of the day, as well as animal bingo,  arctic creature water play, pudding painting bears in dens, munching on bear snacks, sipping hot cocoa, and reading stories in a cave. As part of their unit, students also enjoyed special visitors Doug Minske and his Alaskan Malamute, Juno. Instructors are Karen Wehde, Jessica Anderson and Candy Guthmiller.
