Burrr...  It's been a little chilly around the artic poles this week.

Group Time

Picture
We started by reading and having a group discussions about the different kinds of polar animals and where they live.
Picture
We sorted polar animals to the region that they live in.

​After reading the book about polar bears the children had some questions, so what better way to answer them then to do some hands on experiments.
Picture
How does it help them swim?
Picture
Picture
How does blubber keep them warm?

​Work Time (Learning Centers)

Picture
We read about how tall Emperor penguins where and we had to see for ourselves. 
Picture


​
Picture
Children worked together to measure one another and see if they were taller or shorter than the Emperor penguin.  Using the data sheet to record their findings.
Picture
We need some snow to go with all of this polar living, so we busted out the test tubes and some instant snow.  Children mixed and discover absorption as they made the snow. 
Picture
Picture
We added some salt and glitter to the sensory table for some snow sifting activities.      
Picture
Children worked with a small world polar activity.
Picture
We sat out a try in the art center that was supplied with paper in colors of the animals, collage material, and picture cards of all the animals that we have been talking about.  Children were not given directions just the opportunity to create.

Please send me an email. I still need it to be proofed. So there will be my dyslexic mistakes in it. Hope you understand.
