Hibernation and Migration Circle Time | 5 Preschool Science Lessons
Spend five preschool circle times exploring what animals do when seasons change. Children hear short stories about groundhogs, little brown bats, Canada geese, and monarch butterflies, then compare hibernating and migrating through pictures and simple models.
The 29-page US Letter PDF includes five lesson plans, five original read-alouds, discussion questions, five classroom posters, five sheets of picture props, and five follow-up activities. Children draw a winter shelter, model energy use, map a route, plan a nectar stop, and sort examples. A movement chant, weekly guide, and answer and discussion notes are included.
Print at actual size. Gather pencils, crayons, scissors, paper tokens, and paper flowers for optional group models.
