This month was particularly fun as we learned about snow and cold weather and how animals live in the polar regions of our world. We discovered that penguins live in Antarctica and the southern polar regions of the world but polar bears live in the northern polar regions. We discussed how to build an igloo and even had a practice model in the classroom that could be made with sugar cubes!
Our students also were fascinated with facts and information about the planets in our solar system. We learned that the sun is a star and all the planets in our solar system orbit around it. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are rocky planets, but Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are gas giants. Of all the planets in our solar system, only Earth is capable of supporting life as we know it.
Here are some pictures of our students working in our classroom this month.
February is right around the corner and with it comes a new unit of study. We will be diving into the oceans of the world as we learn about fish and other marine life. We will also be studying the unusual animals of Australia and learning about marsupials. Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday this year, but we will be celebrating it in our classroom on Friday, February 12 with some fun activities and art projects.
Ms. Diana, Ms. Kini and I would like to thank all of you for your support and consideration this year as you have all adhered to our COVID policies. We know this is a trying time and we truly appreciate all your support as we all do our best to keep our children healthy and safe.
Thank you!
Ms. Melissa, Ms. Diana and Ms. Kini
