A big thank you to Ms. P., from the science center, for presenting a fun filled hedgehog presentation.

  

*Ask your child how a hedgehog protects himself.  A hedgehog has quills, it can tuck himself in a ball, and it makes noises.

*What does a hedgehog eat?  A hedgehog eats fruits, vegetables, eggs, snakes, spiders, snails, mice, and scorpions. But the hedgehog's favorite food is insects.  An animal that eats insects as an insectivore.

Look closely and you will see a quill on Ms. P.'s finger.

This week was a fun filled week!  In the classroom, the children decorated gingerbread kids and are working on making Nutcrackers.  The children thoroughly enjoyed going to the Nutcracker Ballet on Thursday.
