A trip to the Arctic, anyone?!

on January 16, 2018

Oh wow!  Did we have some excited some kindergarten students today!  A mysterious envelope arrived in our classroom, still feeling cold from it’s journey.

We opened the envelope and found a letter from a scientist.  He was asking if we could help solve a problem.  He included a letter and a photograph for us to look at.  We discovered that the letter was from a polar bear named Nanuk, and her two cubs.  Nanuk told us that things were changing where she lived and that she and her cubs were very hungry as they were running out of food.

This is the beginning of our Polar Bear inquiry.  We have a lot of research to do!  Today we discussed what we know already and made a list of questions as well as some guesses about what is happening.  Tomorrow we will continue to collect information and see what we can learn.

PS  There will be NO FIELD TRIP TO THE ARCTIC (it’s just not in the budget this year, sorry!)  We will have to think of some other ways to help the polar bears!
