On Friday, December 17th, Ms. Pavlicek from the Burlington Science Center came to show us the Hedgehog Show. The kindergartners listened to the story The Mitten and we did a craft to reinforce the knowledge of the animals in the story. Some of our students also did their own Mitten Retell (see earlier post). 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 Rascal the hedgehog run around in his 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!
