Winter Unit Study
What better topic could a Canadian explore during January but snow! This month we are diving into a unit study all about winter. We will learn about snow and ice, how it's formed and all the fun things we can do with it.
We will also be learning about winter habitats. While searching online I have found a wealth of ideas for our fun adventure.
