Hibernate and Migrate

More of our Winter Strategies teachings today...

We listed some animals that hibernate vs. migrate. 
The differences between them and some
animals that we were surprised didn't hibernate.


Did you know that the Wood Frog actually comes onto land in the 
Winter months and hides under leaves. It's body freezes, the heart stops, with the blood
turning into crystals. Then in the Spring, it comes back to life!  God is PERFECT, huh!


Great book that shows many animals that hibernate. 


Of course a little Scholastic

 Did you know that MALE Polar Bears DON'T
Hibernate?  Also Panda Bears do not.

Looks like an interesting week at your house. I have read that about the Wood Frog before. God is so amazing. It's wonderful you are able to teach your children the science behind that as well as the source. Thanks for linking up with NOBH! Smiles -

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
