I had the honor of working at a nature center for nearly a decade coaching teachers to use nature as a vehicle to teach science through authentic and place-based experiences. I am now a nature preschool teacher by day and content creator by night sharing my love of science and ELA with other educators. Let's make science a priority in your classroom by making it more approachable, digestible, and enjoyable!

Wildlife in winter preparation activities

Whether we’re excited about it or not, winter is on its way! The animals are more in tune with the ebb and flow of the seasons than we are and have been preparing for winter. Some of them have migrated to places where they can meet their needs, others have been putting on fat and have started their long winter sleep, and others have been storing food to eat during winter. Wildlife in winter have it rough!

To explore this concept, we’ll be talking in this episode about wildlife in winter preparation activities for kindergarten and 3rd grade. I’ll share the standard that inspired the activity, how they relate to wildlife in winter preparation activities for kindergarten and 3rd grade, and descriptions of how to use the activity with your learners.
