Kindergarten Skypes with a Beaver Expert!

Kindergarten had an opportunity to Skype with a Beaver Expert today. Each class asked the expert a question concerning Beavers and the expert shared some interesting facts we had not learned. Our class wanted to know if Beavers hibernate; the answer is no.
