Tundra Biome

A few weeks ago, we received an email from Braxton's teacher letting us know that the kids had an at-home-project to do. They had to do a shoebox biome. They had to include a body of water, 3 plants and a food chain and any extras they could think of. Braxton chose the Arctic Tundra, which didn't surprise me because he did a project in 2nd grade on Polar Bears and was really interested in them. So, off to the Hobby Lobby we went to pick up some supplies. He chose the Arctic Willow, Cotton Grass and Arctic Moss as his plants, the Arctic Ocean for his body of water, and Arctic Cod, Ring Seal and Polar Bear as his food chain. He also made Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) out of clay and he glued them to the sky. I was in charge of the hot glue gun, I burned my fingers a few times, but it was so worth it. I think it turned out great. He got a 4/4, which is also known as a "WOW".
