Hibernating Animals Lesson Plans: Close Read
Hibernating Animals Lesson PlansWe read Bear Snores On as part of our Engaging Readers Series. The series also includes an informational text, so we did a little fact collecting!
We used this chart to guide ourselves with informational writing (sorry… no picture #fail).
As usual, we did a little retelling!
This is what the student version looks like!
Students also worked on making predictions!
Hibernating Animals Lesson Plans: Craft
Here is an oldie but goodie craft we do during this unit of study! To make it, you just cut a paper plate in half (and cut out the middle). Then you cover it with fake snow (the stuff you get at craft stores).
Hibernating Animals Lesson Plans: Centers and Stations
Here are some of the activities from my Math Work Station unit on nocturnal and hibernating animals.
Students sort the cards. This is a great group activity too!
Learning about the teen numbers!
A fun color by numbers page. We use equation dice so students are still being challenged.
I love this clip art by Kari Bolt! Students are making 10 in this book.
This is a fun subitizing game.
You can find all of these center activities by clicking HERE.
Here are my lesson plans for the week. Just click on the image below to download the plans with hyperlinks!

Where would I find the worksheet on The Bear Snores On (retelling) students head bands?
Thank you,
Tammy Luera
Those are included in the Guiding Readers units. 🙂
Here is a link to this particular one.
Guiding Readers for December
Do you have a full years worth of lesson plans made like you did up above for “Hibernation week”?
I am looking into buying all of your bundles to start me off with being brand new Kinder teacher. I see all of your stuff would be SO HELPFUL since we are a school that has to do our own curriculum. With me having a family AND still going to school. I really think you could help me out with this!!!
Jessica Sexton here is the link I used to purhase the bundle. It is well worth it. View our https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Guiding-Readers-YEAR-LONG-BUNDLE-NO-PREP-ELA-Units-for-K-1-1912195
Thank you Kim for answering her question!!!! I’m so glad you like them!!!
Hi Deedee! I have been following you and
all your wonderful ideas for years! Do you store all your centers pieces in the plastic frosting tubs? Just wondering! Thanks so much!
Maryann
Yes! Any of the card games go in frosting containers. It makes it so much easier for little hands 🙂
Is there a way to only purchase or a place to find only the activities for The Bear Snores On? I know you have it included in the December bundle but I just need the activities for my hibernation unit. Love all your activities and ideas!
I’m sorry, we don’t have that listed individually at this time. 🙁
I purchased your Engaging Readers set 1 and 2. I cannot find Bear Snores On, but would love it!
It is in the December file 🙂
