Ch...cheese! & The white Arctic!


C and H together make a 'ch' sound... as in cheese, chalk, and chuga-chuga-choo-choo!
What better way to practice 'ch' than with chalk?


Since we are learning about Earth Day this week, we talked about a far away part of our earth that is covered in white... the arctic. 
We watched a short clip from Planet Earth about the animals that live in the arctic.

  

Then we formed a human choo-choo train to get to the dining room 
for a snack of cheese and chocolate milk.  
We tried some different types of cheese...
cheddar (which everyone loved),
goat cheese (which no one loved),
and havarti with dill (which received mixed reviews).


After snack we colored pictures of the Arctic.
We discovered that white crayons and pencils show up best on dark paper.
