Since I have quite a few new followers, I thought I would lead you to a popular post from last year. This time of year, I love teaching about polar bears. The kids love them and they are so engaged in the lessons.
Last year, I did a week’s worth of polar bear activities. I am going to try to jam that into the rest of this week but I may have to carry over into next week, mostly because I get a little carried away.
I love looking for books at the public library. They found some great ones to really extend my polar bear unit. I found these next two at the library.
We started off our unit by listing our polar bear schema. After we had read several books about polar bears, we revisited the facts the kids wrote and moved some to misconceptions. We also did this Polar Bear map and you can find it free on my original post. Click the image above to grab a copy.
These are great book picks! I love Gail Gibbons! The polar bear writing is so cute 🙂

The boys in my class love learning about animals. I need to buy more animal books. Your books look like great choices.
