I know, I know, I know!
It's been ages since I posted anything, the time just gets away from me.
 We HAVE been busy learning lots of new things.
 
Last week we talked about the polar caps.
Polar bears live at the NORTH pole.
Penguins live at the SOUTH pole.
 
This week we move on to the forest habitat and it's denizens (like that big word?).
This is our lab table set-up.

As you might guess, there's been lots of growling, and howling at this very popular spot.
 
 
We also started the letter Mm today.  We talked about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and read his biography.
We discussed his dream (or wish) that everyone be treated fairly and kindly. Then we brainstormed
 what our message might be.  
We made signs:  "Be kind"  "Be nice"  "Share"  "Be fair"  "Take turns".
Then we had our own peace parade around the school.

What a great man and a great lesson for us all.
