Working on the student of the day drawings.
This is a guided drawing.  We go step-by-step together,
and draw a friend. We start with the circle head,
rectangle body, etc... They are asked to use the same
colors as the person drawn.  It's a work in progress. 

Our bear hunt art. 
This fine motor activity involved dot markers and stickers.
There was deep water, swirling snow, a dark cave, etc...

This STEAM activity was to help the bears cross the river
using blocks and a fabric "river."

In the tent bear cave...

We went on a winter animal scavenger hunt.
I read them clues about the animal we are looking for, and if it
hibernated, migrated, or adapted.  Then, I read them the clue
where they could find it.  The end result was the scary bear
in the bear cave.

She found the migrating moose!

How can creatures endure such frigid water temperatures?
Blubber!  They were able to get an idea about how body fat protects
polar bears from freezing in the water.
