My theme for the next four sessions is Animal Homes. Today we reviewed the letter M, and the color orange, reviewed vowels, learned to draw spiders and watched a clip from Life of Mammals about beavers.
We learned that beavers can drag giant branches from trees, that the water in the winter time keeps the leaves fresh at right above freezing temperatures, thus explaining why beavers don't hibernate, and we learned that both dams and the beaver's home are made from rocks, branches, leaves and mud.
For snack time, the kids made their own beaver dams with rocks (chocolate chips), mud (a scoop of peanut butter), leaves (candy leaf sprinkles) and logs (straight pretzels.)Jocelyn was our weather girl for the day but she didn't predict our snowstorm! It's definitely October in Utah.
