Yesterday we had an opportunity to share all we've uncovered in our polar bear research with our friends in Mrs. Ford's class. The students in both classes demonstrated strong comprehension by answering questions and shared learned information about the Arctic's largest predator, the polar bear. The emphasis on habitat, life cycle and adaptations were the main research topics and students in both classes became research experts in all three areas.

| Drew, Michael and Quinn worked hard on their polar bear projects and are enjoying the opportunity to share their learning. |
Now that our research projects have been completed and we have learned how to locate, interpret and categorize information we are ready to choose a different polar animal from either the Arctic or Antarctic and complete our next research report and project. We will be using the Chatterpix app to "chat" or share important information on our next science report ... so stay tuned to be informed.

Remember to send your child to school on Monday wearing white (or any light colored clothing) for their portrayal as an Arctic fox for our second grade concert, Please Don't Melt Me.
Since our polar bear projects have been completed and to make room in our classroom it would be wonderful if you could stop
by after Monday's concert to ensure a safe ride home.

Penguins would be a great choice to study in Antartica.🐧 - Dr. Creeden
ReplyDeleteDear Dr. Creeden,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your suggestion, we just picked out newest research topics, and so far some of us have picked the Emperor, Macaroni, Chinstrap and Adelei penguins as our topic.We are all very excited to learn about penguins, we've already researched a bit in preparation for "The Penguin Lady's" visit tomorrow. We know that there are nearly 20 different kinds of penguins, that the father penguin has an important role in "incubating" the egg and chick, the parents regurgitate their food to feed the penguin chick and although penguins are birds they can't fly... but boy it sure does looks like they do when they jump out of the water!
Stay tuned for more information because we love to research new facts!
