Intent: Hibernation: it seemed appropriate to reinforce what Kindergarten
Scientists are learning this week, since it’s still really cold outside! Combined with a mention or two of Groundhog
Day, this lesson is all about hunkering down in the cold and getting ready for
better days ahead.
1. INTRODUCTION
a. . Welcome
Song: Welcome to the Library (To “London Bridge is Falling Down.”)
Welcome to the library, library, library.
Welcome to the library, please come inside and read.
We’re glad to have you here today, here today, here today.
We’re glad to have you here today, today’s a special day.

ii.

f.
ASL (American
Sign Language.) Sign language is a real language where people use their
hands to communicate. The
sign for "sleep" is made by opening your hand and placing it in front
of your face, palm toward you. Move your hand downward toward your
chin. While the hand is moving, bring your fingers together and touch
them with your thumb. Stop when you get
right below your head.
g.
Intent & Agenda: It’s still cold and wintry here in
Denton. What do you like to do when it
gets cold? (cocoa, fire, curl up in a
blanket, read a book or watch TV?) We’re
lucky because we have warm houses to go home to every night, with heat and
electricity. But animals who live outside
don’t have those things. Today we’re
going to look at the things they do to stay alive during the winter. We’ll look at PebbleGo encyclopedia to learn
facts, we’ll read a funny story about hibernating animals, and we’ll sing songs and do crafts
2. STORY/RESOURCE #1: (PebbleGoScience:
Hibernation)
a. Pre-Reading: What do animals do when the weather is
cold in winter? (Because we had a video conference on this topic in December,
students should be able to remember flying south, growing thick fur,
hibernating as things animals do.
b. READ: involve students by asking questions
about chapters in text. Show videos.
c. Reflection: Retell story. Ask questions, go back into the book to
confirm information or plot. Link to student’s experiences, do some
out-loud thinking yourself to model how effective readers go through and then
contemplate what they’ve read. Picture walk your way through a retelling
or act out a scene.
d.
Extension Activity:
Action Rhyme: Winter Is Cold
Winter is
cold hug yourself and shiver
There is snow

The squirrels

And the Wild
Geese Fly flap arms
The fluffy

on your head, cupped hands
Has his fur

stroking fur
The bear’s in
her cave form a
cave with arms
Sleeping all
through the storm. Close eyes, fold hands under arms and “sleep”
e. Jokes: Tongue Twister: HOW MANY
CHUCKS COULD A WOODCHUCK CHUCK IF A WOODCHUCK COULD CHUCK WOOD?

(sung to "I'm A Little Teapot")
Here's a little groundhog,

He's popping up

If he sees his shadow,
down he'll go.
Then six more weeks of winter
- oh, no!
