Off to the Arctic...

As the Arctic blast continues to hit us we are snug in the classroom beginning our unit on the Arctic habitat.  Today was the basic introduction to the animals that live in the Arctic and how they are alike and different.  We ended the lesson with these cute little Polar Bears similar to those from Glyph Girls.  They have the cutest things!!  Tomorrow we will divide into groups and work on research using text. I've gathered up some simple books with informational text and copied some simple facts from websites.  Thursday they will use the Internet to gather facts.
