The best day ever!

Today was the best day ever because we got to dig for fossils in a brownie. Also, we reserched Antarctica's resources.I think the best was eating the brownies. Also, another thing is that we picked an animal and wrote alot of facts about them like what their classification is,what are their eating habits,what is their habitat,what are their predators,their description,and 3 special facts about the Blue Whale,Squid,Humpback Whale,Emperor Penguin,Weddell Seal,Minke Whale,etc.
Until next time,

Chill Out

Chill Out, sit back, and enjoy the cold weather of Antarctica! Today we learned about Antarctica! Did you know Edith Ronne was the first female explorer, and the first person to go to Antarctica with her husband? Right now the temperature in Antarctica is -15 degrees F. Robert Scott was killed by frostbite and Ernest Shackleton feared frostbite. Roald Amundsen lived near Fredrickstad. I know all these people seem so different, but they all have at least one thing in common. Can you guess what it is? Yes, that is correct. They were ALL explorers that explored Antarctica!
