I found it fitting that on the day we started learning about Arctic Animals, the temperature outside was this:
No joke, folks. This was the temperature according to my car when I got to school. I watched it go from –11 to –19 on my drive. With the wind chill it was about –30. YUCK.
While we read If You Could Go To Antarctica, we created mental images about what it would look like and feel like there. um. All we needed to do was look out our window. We learned that Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. Guess what the temperature was at 10 a.m.?? ND: –19, Antarctica 32. I guess we got them beat.
Brrr!!! I hope you had your mittens and hot chocolate! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. I left my shades closed this morning, then I finally opened them and then saw snow- yeah I am done with all of the snow and we actually don't have all that much. While we don't have the negative numbers, yet, the windchill is awful :(

YIKES, that is COLD! It certainly sounds like antarctica to me. BTW, I found a great snack idea to go with this it is called an Iceberg Treat. I am including the link below. Check it out, I am sure the kids will love. We are going to be doing it in my class at the end of our Emperor Penguin Unit.
