On Friday we wrapped up a wonderful unit on penguins. It must have been incredibly fun and engaging because I cannot find a single photo from the unit! We were all so involved in the learning that was happening, I didn't stop to take pictures! Apologies.
When the unit began, we thought about what we thought we already knew about penguins. Then we wrote down ideas of things we were wondering about penguins. We measured ourselves against different sizes of penguins. We studied the Emperor Penguin especially closely and became experts on this type of penguin. We read Mr. Popper's Penguins and loved the story!
Here are some questions to ask your child about penguins to see how much they have learned:
Do penguins only live in cold places?
What types of nests to penguins build?
What do penguins eat?
What is your favorite type of penguin?
What is the smallest/largest penguin?
How does a father Emperor Penguin take care of the egg?
What animals like to eat penguins?
How do penguins decide that water is safe for swimming?
What are some special features of a penguins body? How do they stay warm?
