Brrr...

We thought it was cold at recess this morning but then we learned about the arctic and antarctic regions later this morning.  The coldest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica was minus 129F!  We have been reading Mr. Popper's Penguins and students were curious to find out more information about what it is really like in Antarctica. 

This morning we practiced writing lower case l and also worked on creating a list of words from the word family -an.  I read another Ezra Jack Keats book Dreams where the main character was different.  It was not Peter but a boy named Roberto who we had not "met" yet.  We have a few more Ezra Jack Keats books to read this week before starting a non-fiction unit.
