On Friday, Mrs. Gray wrapped up the week with a couple of polar bear explorations! We read the book “Ice Bear” and spent the week adding to our schema. On Friday, first graders participated in a stem challenge to create a polar bear den using jumbo and mini marshmallows with toothpicks. They also got to experience how a polar bear’s fat protects them from cold. They put their hands in a bowl of ice water. After, they put their hands in a bag of crisco to simulate the bear’s layers of fat. The students were impressed that they could no longer feel the cold water!
