In the first few weeks of January, the Kindergartners have been busy learning all about Arctic animals and the chilly season of winter! We sang poems, learned several fun facts, read several books, and even made a few crafts celebrating these animals and the weather.
One thing that we learned was that Arctic animals like polar bears and walruses have blubber that helps keep them warm. We compared it to us wearing a giant snowsuit! In order to test this fact, we decided to do a little science experiment! We used our very own "blubber gloves" and put it to test!
On a chilly Friday afternoon, our room was filled with even more giggles, squeals, and amazement than we usually have! It turns out that blubber really does help us stay warmer!
After staying nice and warm with our "blubber gloves", we decided to embrace the winter weather and also get a little chilly. We decided to borrow Ms. Maupin's art room one afternoon and make our very own "snow!" It was a little bit messy but we discovered that we could make our very own snow indoors!
