From Elise's class: Hello, Today we talked about igloos and made some with marshmallows. We
continued to read Snow Babies and talked about arctic animals such as snowy owls and arctic foxes. We made a winter tree and we talked about how there are no leaves on it because in the winter it is too cold to grow. We had some center time where they took turns on the computer
playing Starfall, playing Zingo, doing Alphabet Express puzzle, playing with Alphie the robot. We had rainy day recess indoors and went out for a little bit. They had German.

What is one fact you remember from the Snow Babies book?
Elise- I learned about the horses gallop around to keep warm.
