We started this week with sitting in a circle while Mrs. Gould took things out of a box and put them in the center of the circle. She put out a polar bear, an igloo, Inuit figurines, a dog sled, some dogs, a puffin, and a wolf. We tried to figure out what they all had in common...eventually we figured out that all of those things are found in Alaska! We weren't sure where Alaska was so we looked at a globe and found Grafton (where we all go to school) then we discovered where Alaska is located! (We also talked a little bit about states and the United States and found Hawaii...our island state too)
All of the things Mrs. Gould brought in are now in our snow tub so we can create an Alaskan landscape!
We watched a video on the northern lights that all the kids loved! I promised I'd send the link home.

| Naomi was our Maple Leaf of the Week. We all loved the homemade chocolate covered strawberries that she brought in for a treat! We had enough to eat them on Wednesday and Thursday...yum! |
On Tuesday, her dad came in and read two of her favorite stories to us, Green Eggs and Ham and Pigeon Eats a Hot Dog.
Wednesday she shared her poster about herself and brought in a yummy homemade treat of chocolate covered strawberries that she helped make! Thursday Naomi shared what was in the Mystery Bag during circle time and later in the morning her mom came and told us about how Naomi's Grandpa is a bee keeper and makes his own honey. Then we got to try some of his honey on some bread...it was delicious!! Thanks Naomi for helping make our week so special!

We went outside on Thursday and pretended to climb mountains and glaciers. The kids had a lot of fun playing in the snow! Then some of us went home while others stayed for lunch and extended day. During extended day we made an igloo out of a styrofoam bowl and marshmallows! The kids had fun eating the marshmallows (ice blocks) while they were working!
We learned a new song this week called Baby Beluga. Here's the video we watched to help us learn the song! Baby Beluga video
