April 4

Highlights:
  • Social Studies: We had a special visit from Ms. Boyer. She took a trip to Churchill Manitoba for her birthday to see the polar bears. 
    • They come to this area right near the Hudson's Bay in Winter to look for seals!
    • There are polar bear jails for when the bears come into town and risk the safety of the people in the town - putting them in danger. The jails are good because then they do not have to shoot the bears.
    • Polar bears have heads the size of their necks so they can hunt for seals under the ice and not get stuck.
    • Polar bears have translucent fur
    • Polar bears are awake in the winter then hibernate in the summer, which is opposite of regular bears. 
    •  Tundra Buggies are used to travel around and not get attacked by the polar bear
