ARCTIC UNIT STUDY

This week K requested that our Unit be on Arctic Animals. This stemmed from the week before when we did our Bear Unit Study and learned a bit about polar bears. 
BEAR UNIT STUDY

The following was a great treasure hunt type activity that K loved doing!
I printed off the cards and I randomly placed them around the room. Then I had K take the recording worksheet with him around the room to find the numbered cards & write the name of the animal on the worksheet. He loves this kind of treasure hunt game!  
I ended up changing fox to Arctic fox, bear to polar bear and whale to Orca whale just to give him a little more writing.
It was a big hit with him and even Little M loved the picture cards and played with them!

Here are some pictures if them working with this activity:



This was another great freebie I found while searching for activities called Artic Odd & Even.   I skipped doing this activity with K because he is a little advanced in math but it would be great for grade 1 math/for review.

K used this penguin themed writing paper to make his Santa Letter. Unfortunately I forgot to snap some pictures of this but it turned out really cute with this paper:
 
I found this awesome Arctic Word Sort freebie as well and it was a hit too!
Arctic Word Sort
K sorted the words into columns based on it's number of syllables. Here he is clapping out syllables.

 
This  Arctic fox mini packet was a great addition to our unit as well.

We used information from the following site to fill in these pages:
Here are some videos we ended up watching to help us learn about Arctic animals:

This is a really adorable Walrus craft that we didn't get around to making yet....but we will because it is so cute & when we do I will post some pictures!
