What children learn in Level 26

Animals change with the seasons too! In fall, squirrels gather and bury nuts to eat in winter.
Many birds fly to warmer places in fall, where they can find food. That's called migration.
Many bears sleep through much of the winter. That's called hibernation. Lots of animals also grow thicker fur to stay warm.
People change too: shorts and swimming in summer, coats and mittens in winter.
