any time of the year. This PBL was “piloted” on a kindergarten class, but could
be modified for pre-K level and first grade.

PBL: Winter Animals
This project based
learning unit focuses on the animals chosen by the students, two animals that
hibernate (bear and hedgehog), two animals that migrate (monarch butterfly and
duck), and two animals that adapt (rabbit and deer) during the season of winter.
There is some discussion about whether bears really hibernate, but several
books we read used the term hibernation, so we went with that. This PBL was
“piloted” on a preschool class and they had a GREAT time! Looking back, I may
have just focused on researching only animals that hibernate due to the
maturity level and academic level of the class this year. The activities
presented in this packet can easily be adapted to a kindergarten level.
This unit contains
the following activities: Link to Voki, sorting animals, animals
in winter facts, pocket chart pictures, KWL chart, patterns,
rubric and self-assessment, making sets, tree patterns, Kindergarten Common
Core Standards, and headband patterns.
