P is for Polar Bear!

     Last week we learned all about... POLAR BEARS! With the weather finally starting to get cold, I thought why not learn about polar bears to segway into our winter months and most importantly CHRISTMAS! We made several polar bear crafts such as polar bear handprints, paper plate polar bears, finger-paint with shades of blue paint and much more! We developed our gross motor skills by playing a fun polar bear game! I would say phrases such as "Polar Bear, Polar Bear spin around, Polar Bear, Polar Bear touch the ground" and then the kids would do it! It is pretty amazing how even at such a young age and while not able to fully verbally communicate yet, they understand what you are saying! 
     We learned about polar bears by reading about them and voting on which book to read each day! The kiddos even got to put their hand in ice cold water to see what it would be like if we lived in the Arctic with the polar bears! Take a look at our fun week!
