This week has been a great school week....with our Penguin teachings, Antarctica, Digestion and more.... Here are a few facts that we learned this week that you might be surprised to know: 1.  Did you know that you will never see a Polar Bear eating a Penguin?  Why you ask.  Because Polar Bears are Arctic animals and Penguins are not.  You wont find any penguins at the North Pole. But you will find them at the South Pole.  2.  The best way to describe the difference to young children about the Arctic and Antarctica - the Arctic is a body of water surrounded by land. Whereas Antarctica is a body of land surrounded by water.  In the Summer months Antarctica is about 1/2 of it's Winter size due to ice melting.  In the Winter it's double the size of the US and Mexican put together.  3.  The Emperor Penguin can reach heights of over 4 feet and weigh 90 lbs. 4. Fun fact about your digestion system - did you realiz...

Continuing with our Winter studies - today's topic was Antarctica !  The coldest place on Earth!  At times getting to -125 F    Now I love the cold and snow, but that is just too cold for even me!  In fact it does not even snow very much - too cold for that and very dry.    Very few forms of life live at the Southern most tip of our planet.  With the map in front of us we had a look at what life would be like in Antarctica - kids voted, not selling the house anytime soon 8) We did have Royalty here today also 8) (another reason I love homeschooling) What we read... For Science this month we are working on the Human Body - specifically this week - CELLS.  We all watched an episode of The Magic School Bus - Cells (bought entire 52 episode pack on Black Friday on line  - LOVING IT) Girl time on the school computers (blessed to have two laptops for the kids to use) Until tomorrow...Be Blessed! linking to:
