Smashing success!
The first ‘What’s wrong with this picture?’ was a smashing success!
Many of you correctly answered…
No! I would not be able to capture a ‘real’ picture of penguins and polar bears together – because polar bears live in the Arctic Region and penguins live south of the equator – many in the Antarctic Region.
So, only in Coca Cola commercial, animated cartoon, or Photoshop picture would you see penguins and polar bears frolicking happily together.
Without further ado the winner is…
John S. John is in Mrs. Collins 3rd grade class at John P. Freeman Optional School in Memphis. He was randomly selected as the winner.
Congratulation John!!!
Fall Festival – Antarctic style
Dressing up in costumes is fun! And, since many of you have Fall Festivals at your school – where you dress up in all sorts of creative costumes - I thought I’d propose a challenge.
Let’s dress Antarctic style!
Dress up in one of the following costumes:
- Antarctic Explorer
- Antarctic Scientist
- Penguin
- Weddell Seal
- Whale
- Ice
- Snow
- Or create one of your own
Polar Points
If you are keeping track of your ‘Polar Points’ – here’s how the points will work for this challenge.
- 10 point per Antarctic costume (So, if you have a class of children participating – each student dressed in a costume will receive 10 points for your class/school)
- 10 points for e-mailing me a picture!
Please note – You do not need to submit a picture to win. An e-mail with the participants name and costume with be sufficient. (I.e. Jonny S. – Emperor Penguin)
If a picture is submitted – it may be posted in a future journal. If you do not wish for your picture to be posted – please indicate that on your entry.
Remember to include the following:
- Participants name and costume
- School and grade level (if applicable)
Remember to submit your answer to Alex at alice.eilers [at] memphistn.gov or aeilers [at] polartrec.com
This challenge closes in a month or so… let’s get creative!
If you wish to receive an e-mail when I post a new blog – contact me at alice.eilers [at] memphistn.gov or aeilers [at] polartrec.com and tell me to ‘Put me on the List’
