Winter is coming, it's getting cold,

Animals do something, so we are told.


They gather some food, then they go to sleep,
Until spring time, we won't hear a peep.

D A G A
and it's called HI BER NA TION
HI BER NA TION
HI BER NA TION (DAGAD)

"a big long nap"

We practiced this song daily for the week and it culminated on Friday by us putting some of our teddy bears in a decorated hibernation box that will not be opened again until spring. Then we made bear masks and walked around and sang the song to other classes.
