Polar Regions

In January we studied the Polar Regions, even though it didn't feel very cold in Oklahoma. We had to make our own snow because there was none here. We learned about Penguins and went to the zoo to see them fed.

There are penguin statues all over the city of Tulsa, all decorated differently. It was an event to raise money for the penguin exhibit at the zoo.

Then a couple of weeks later we had an ice storm that had the schools shut down for three days! Ice covered the trees, and every individual blade of grass! It looked really "other-worldly" to me. When the sun shone, the trees looked like they were made of glass. Some snow came, though it was really hard to play in. Eric was able to work out a couple of snowmen out of this dry snow.

Faith made this one "super"

It's warm again now, and it's hard to believe that we ever had winter!
