Within a few weeks of living in Greenville, I found out that there was a Big Lots. I love Big Lots. I would go there every week if I could. Well, one day we went there and got a few calendars for 2021. One of them was a daily calendar that has a random holiday for each day. Since our 2020 has been kind of blah, I thought I would make next year a fun one.
And the best part is that I will be sharing each day on this blog, along with my ideas to make it a fun lesson. I take full responsibility for the crazy ideas that are about to come your way- plus a few tips from the internet.
So here goes.......
January 1 - Polar Bear Swim Day
I got most of my facts from this website.

For most people, polar bear swim day means that you go jump in ice cold pond. Well, we aren't that extreme so we are toning it down a little.
I found five facts about polar bears that sounded interesting to me and I will put them on the back of five pictures of polar bears. Then I will talk about the weather:
Weather - In the High Arctic, the sun sets in October and doesn't rise again until late February. Winter temperatures can plunge to -40° or -46 C (-50 F) and stay that way for days or weeks. The average January and February temperature is -34 C (-29 F).
Our polar bear swim will consist of a spray bottle outside. Then we will come inside to make a polar bear from cotton balls and have Swedish fish.
