Congratulations Cameron on losing a tooth!! (I felt honored to help him pull it since I also helped his big sister pull several of hers when she was in my class too!)

Antartica

As part of our study of Antartica, we examined ice, tried to build an igloo (didnt work out too well though) and froze animals in cups of ice to see which one would melt the quickest. Fun but COLD!!!!! btw, these pictures posted backwards than what I wanted but you get the idea: we were cold:)
