Polar Bear Day

We had our polar bear day today which was really fun! We incorporated polar bear themed science, writing, and reading into our rotations.  For science we made a blubber glove using shortening and dunked it in ice water.  We talked about what blubber is and then made a scientific drawing of our experiment.  At another station we made polar bear snacks using rice cakes and talked about their senses.  We also made a polar bear mitt and talked about how polar bears adapt to the cold weather.  Finally, we had a write the room for polar bears.
