J'aime les ours polaires!

Science experiment: the kids held their hands in the snow for as long as they could.

Then we used a bag (within a bag) of lard to protect our hand from the cold.  This simulates the layer of fat beneath a polar bear's skin.

Actually touching the lard - "It feels like lotion!"

It's a BIRD! It's a PLANE! It's ...

100 DAY SUPERHEROES!!

Playing Voyageurs

We learned a little more about Voyageurs today and we did it through dramatic play!!  

Setting up tents and building fires to cook our bannock

 

Rowing in our canoe 

(we even hit some rough water and lost a couple voyageurs in the river, but they survived)

Portaging our canoe

CUTEST VOYAGEURS EVER!

 Bonus Pic:  Check out this little voyageur with a canoe cookie.  She also had a plaid shirt cookie!

100 Day Superheroes

We celebrated our 100th Day of school today.  Our day was action-packed and fit for a squad of superheroes. 

We used our x-ray vision to find 100 Hershey Kisses that were hidden all over the room

We made our 100 Day trail mix

We competed in teams to build 100-cup superheroes fortresses

We flew around the school and took 100 giant superhero steps to see if we'd make it around and back to our classroom.  We stopped and checked our guesses several times but in the end, most of us were wrong and we didn't make it...

...but we were close

Next we did centres and ate our trail mix.

100 Day masks

100 Fruit Loop necklaces with superhero badges

 We read 100 books (about 5 each) and marked them on our poster

It was a SUPER 100 Day
