Learning how local bears prepare for winter
Photos by Brenda Shenton
Kindergarteners at Canyon School in Pincher Creek recently spent an afternoon learning about local bears and how they add a layer of fat before hibernation. Teacher Muriel McPherson invited local environmental educator Sarah Downey to share her knowledge with the class. After examining bear skins, claws and skull models, the children went outside to the hill behind the school to build bear caves. Clockwise, from bottom left, are Morgan Conley with Jenna-Mae Yellow Horn in their den; Isla Dressler enjoying the tactile learning that comes with a grizzly bear claw; Mandy Glen-Shenton watches as Owen Barclay checks out a fur sample shown by Sarah; Callie Clark and Naya Randell examining a skull model; and Rylee Baird with Kesha Shepherd in their cave.
