Arctic and Antarctic Thematic Unit
The great Arctic Freeze is here once again! Capitalize on the weather through winter related units and activities. Okay I live in the desert, but we can celebrate that it is snowing somewhere!
Investigate the Arctic and the Antarctic. Read the sight word reader, Arctic Friends, compare quantities with Polar Bear Fishing, construct walruses, and sound out words with the game Arctic Hunt. Next, turn your attention to the Antarctic and the penguin. Write about penguins, read about them, construct penguins, and play penguin games such as Rescue the Penguins - a teen math game and March of the Penguins, a letter fluency game. The Arctic air is cold, but make the best of it with our Arctic Freeze activities!
Do you love the Polar Regions as much as I do? Teach Core Standards and the Science of Reading with confidence by using these authentic, strategically linked cross-curricular, thematic activities. Make Learning Fun!
