Catholic First Graders Make a Chilly Discovery

The students at our Holy Spirit campus recently studied Arctic animals and the blubber that helps keep the animals warm. Mrs. Emily Cutts created “blubber” for each of her first grade students. The students were able to test the blubber out when Mrs. Cutts had them hold their “blubbered” finger in a cup of water with ice. None of the students were able to feel the cold water because their “blubber” kept them warm!
