Antarctica Week

This week I have:

-Parent teacher conferences that I still need to fill all forms out for
-An observation by my principal
-A 23rd birthday
-A room to constantly clean and organize
-Too many papers and documents to file

BUT, the sun is out in Utah. It is a little warmer than it has been. And, this week I am taking in a penguin that is 70+years old and a polar bear skin to show my students. I think my Grandpa would be happy that they will be viewed by such appreciative recipients. I know they will love it, and I can't wait to show them. Here is question for those of you who know: Do you know of any good stories that Grandpa told that I can relate to my class? We are learning about the continent Antarctica and I would love to tell some of his experiences when he was there.

p.s. I know that polar bears are in the Arctic, not Antarctica.
