Played "I Spy BINGO":

Mads did her projects on Iceland and iguanas:

We watched "instant insects" hatch:

Insects instantly emerged!

We drank iced tea:

Baked icebox cookies:

Jacob and I read these "I Spy" books:

Jacob was inventive with drawing train tracks for the train he had just cut and glued:

Mads and I played "Double Take" - a fun memory card game about insects:

The kiddos turned into climbing imps:

Mads pulled her best imagination pose:

An interesting craft was sugar cube igloos:

Mads did a book report about the book "Ice Wreck":

We learned more about icebergs by making our own:

Here are the books Mads used for her research projects:

Life on our Island was fun and full of learning as always!
