Penguins


Students are learning about penguins. We use the subject of penguins to study text features which are different in expository text when compared to fiction. We begin with accessing their knowledge with a KWL chart which grows with us as we learn new fun facts.

All classes have enjoyed watching the live webcams from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium in California.

All classes have also enjoyed doing the Penguin Dance from Jack Hartman!
