Polar bear skin

We just learned about Corgis.

Polar bears are the largest meat eating animal living on land.

Their fur is white of course, but their skin is black underneath, just like their nose!

Radius & Ulna

We just learned about the Humerus.

The bones in your forearm are called the radius and ulna.

The radius is the one on the inside top, and the ulna is the one on the outside bottom.
When you turn your hand over, your radius bone moves, but the ulna stays in one place.

Eighth Commandment

We just learned the Seventh Commandment, about not stealing.

The eighth commandment that God gave to Moses is:

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

This means you shouldn't lie.

Big & Little Dipper

We just learned about the North Star.

Up in the sky at night, you can usually see one or two groups of stars that look kind of like a measuring cup, scooper, ladle or spoon.

A group of stars is called a constellation, and these are called the big dipper and little dipper.

The big dipper is also part of a constellation called ursa major.

The little dipper is part of a constellation called ursa minor and the north star polaris is one of the stars in the little dipper

French - Do you speak French?

To ask if someone speaks French, you say parlez-vous français.
(google translate)

It sounds like pahlay voo fuansay.

To say yes, you would say Oui, sounds like wee.
Or no, which sounds just like the way you say it in English.
