The Mitten- Hedgehog Show

 

On Wednesday, January 29th, Ms. Pavlicek from the Burlington Science Center came to show us the Hedgehog Show. We were supposed to have this show the first week of January when we did our The Mitten book study but, Starla the hedgehog has been sick. She was feeling better this week, so we had the show this week. We learned that all the animals mole, rabbit, owl, badger, fox, bear and mouse are all animals that can be found in North America. The only animal in the story not found in North America is the hedgehog. The students enjoyed learning more about the hedgehog and then actually see Starla the Science Center's new hedgehog run around in her little playpen and then all students were given the opportunity to touch the hedgehog. During the test at the end of the show, Ms. P. asked the students to demonstrate how the hedgehog stays safe. The students moved away from the threat, rolled into a ball and made a squeaking noise. The students acted just like a hedgehog! It was a great show!
