A little Polar Region Fun

I really LOVE the polar regions and had even more fun developing my unit this year and adding things/tweaking things to make it just the way I wanted it.  I know I’m kinda aging myself with the old school KWL chart but – I think they can still be effective to spark discussions on a new topic.  To get the kids even more motivated than they already were about the topic ~ we made a very cute penguin snack that they went nuts over!!!  It is included in my pack.  Here’s the real back story ~ we had library today so I bribed …gently encouraged them to behave and be extra good during library prep – and if so we would make the snack.  *I was pretty much going to do it anyway*  Shh!  Don’t tell – I know you do things like this too…come on’ admit it.  Well anyway…

I try to include a snack idea for most of my units and then I always include a response sheet.  They are fun to include in their end of the year memory books along with a photo.

I can’t WAIT for tomorrow – the 100th day — I will be posting about it for sure.  Here’s what I hung on our door for tomorrow morning — remember we will be celebrating like royalty.  I already have my tiara ready!!
