Penguins

Sorry for the picture overload😊 We learned about penguins this week! The class sorted fiction and nonfiction text about penguins, did some research and discovered new interesting facts, filled out a KWL chart, and drew their very own penguins. The best part of all was our blubber and waterproof feather experiment. I think it is safe to say that if we were swimming in the Arctic Ocean, we would want to have a layer of blubber and waterproof feathers covering our bodies like the penguins. The kids couldn’t believe how cold the icy water was when they stuck their bare hand in the bowl vs. the hand that had blubber (a glove) and waterproof feathers (a plastic bag)!
