This week the children listened to Waiting for Winter by Sebastian Meschenmoser.

As part of their post-discussion, the children brainstormed various animals and the ways in which those animals hibernated.

From their brainstormed ideas, you can see that the children have sorted their facts and identified several animals they still wonder about (those statements are marked with a question mark) that bear further investigation.
