Arctic Studies continued...

In a previous post, I wrote about our Arctic studies--including both polar regions.  W completed our Arctic mural by painting the Aurora Borealis and creating a numbered guide to all the animals and plants we included.  Our Polar Regions dictionary and the ample supply of reference books on both the Arctic circle and Antarctica provided great sources of info, and we were careful to only include region-appropriate life.  Since more animals live in the Arctic, Seven and Four agreed on that region for the mural as they were both most excited about making as many animals as they could.  You need to use your imagination a bit when viewing the animals, so the guide is very helpful!




Now that we are wrapping up our Polar studies, we are investigating other places in the world we'd like to know more about.  Looks like Beanie's vote is for Greenland!
