To review the study of our 5 senses, we read  Five Senses by aliki. Then we read made a chart in our igloo putting the senses at the top. We then read Inuit, Inuit, What do you??? and placed the correct object on our chart according to the book. Later we used additional arctic items to create our own story.

Our sight word game this week was ice fishing. When Dottie caught a word she read it!

We started the week by reading How much is a Million? Our first activity was to estimate how many post its would cover the igloo. Then we stuck them to see how close Dot got. Next we estimated how many marshmallows were in the bag. We counted to see, then built an igloo. Last we estimated how many Arctic Tic Tac were in 2 containers. Then we counted, and Dot had really improved from the beginning of the week. Finally we played tic/ tac igloo! Dot estimated 70 It only took 33 Dot estimated 20 There were 40 Nice Igloo! Dot estimated 100 tics tacs There were 117! Close Tic Tac Igloo

This week we went back to the Arctic and studied The Inuit People aka "Eskimos". We Started by reading Mama Do you Love Me . It contains lots of vocabulary of the things The Inuit people used to use on a daily basis. We read a poem about The Five Little Inuits, and practiced positional words with an igloo and a Dottie Inuit! We also played some fun games! Mama Do you Love Me? "In front" of the igloo Beginning Sounds Game Dottie in her "Parka" Dottie in her " Mukluks"

To review all the sight words we have learned so far we placed them on "icebergs" and jumped from one to another while reading them aloud!

We studied that Puffins are birds that live in the Arctic. They resemble Penguins but don't be fooled! Dottie added different groups of fish in the puffin's tummy to create and solve addition equations!

We continued our study of the Arctic by studying polar bears. Dottie played a beginning sounds iceberg game. She made a silhouette polar bear craft, and played with homemade icebergs in the bathtub. Beginning Sounds Game Tape Down Bear Silhouette Paint with white paint around shape Remove bear A Polar Picture Homemade icebergs Remove Place in tub or water table Just add Polar Bears!

To review counting by fives we read The Arctic Fives Arrive by Elinor J. Pinczes . Each time five more animals joined the iceberg Dottie layed out another hand print (or five). We then counted with the book to find out just how many arctic animals could fit on one little ice berg. Dottie followed up with writing her fives to help Mr. Seal eat his supper!

This week's sight word game is played with a polar bear face and magnet eating up sight word seals when their words are read correctly! Snow much fun! Lunch!

To review the Greater than Less than concept, Dottie put the correct symbols between the groups of diecut polar bears. She then followed the same routine but this time by writing the synmbol on a worksheet.
