Hibernation or Migration?

We have been discussing how animals spend their winter.  We have a great cross section of a pond in the classroom to help us figure out where pond animals reside in chilly weather.  The students were curious about some of our other animals friends like the raccoon, otter and dragonfly.  We sorted some animals into groups:  those that hide in the pond, those that migrate and those that stay in the forest.  We have further investigation to figure out what part of the forest is a home for animals (e.g., under a log, in a nest) and where some other pass the time.  We'll keep you posted!
