We have been learning all about penguins this week! Did you know that emperor penguins are bigger than some Kindergarten students? Or, some penguins are more blue than black? Or, some penguins live at the beach? Well--it's true! We learned all this and more this week as we explored maps and globes, continents, measurement, and life cycles!
We took all this great information, put it together in an organized way, and created informational penguin books just like author Gail Gibbons!
Each reading group also did some extra research about a specific type of penguin and created life size paintings of their penguin. Check out the size of that emperor!
Next time you are in the building check out all our penguins and our all our research outside our classroom!
But the penguin fun didn't stop there! We built penguins--
and we even cared for our eggs just like emperor penguins!
Emperor dads have to keep their eggs safe and warm on their feet. If the eggs touch the cold Antarctic ice, the chicks will not be able to live and grow. Keeping a little egg warm and safe on your feet is harder than it looks!
We used the measuring tape to keep track of how far we waddled. If you are looking for snow day fun (and some good laughs) give this a try at home! Or, check out these links for some more penguin information.
