A NEW year!

Although the snow hasn't been flying, it's still cold AND it's supposedly still winter. We've been talking about winter, winter animals and winter activities.

We've been talking about penguins, polar bears, snow bunnies, and other animals that like the cold weather. We've compared winter clothes to summer clothes and classified animals. We've even guessed and then discovered what keeps animals warm in the winter. We've talked about snow, and while there was snow on the ground we've melted some to see what is actually IN the snow. We discovered that besides water, there's a LOT of dirt.

Soon we'll be working on Valentine's Day projects, but until then, keep warm!
