Arctic+Animals

We are so excited to start our Arctic Animal adventure! This month we will be reading many non-fiction books about the arctic region and the animals that live there. These animals have to be very well adapted to live in such a cold environment! The students were surprised to discover penguins are not arctic animals! We will learn more about these exciting animals next month.

In class we are completing diagrams of various arctic animals, such as the polar bear and walrus. We are keeping a science journal with notes about what we learn about each animal: what they look like, what they eat, their life cycle, and other interesting facts we find. On top of our research at school, each student has chosen a different arctic animal to become an expert on! They will complete a report and make a visual to display in our classroom arctic animal museum at the end of the month. I can't wait to see the great projects!

Below are some links and videos to help you learn even more about these fascinating animals!

Here is an arctic animal video (about 45 minutes). It was too long to show in class, but you can check it out at home!
