Our class is fully emerged into our study of penguins! Your children are becoming experts on Rockhopper, King, Little Blue, Gentoo, Chinstrap, and Emperor Penguins. They have also become quite skilled in finding important information in nonfiction text, highlighting it, and referring back to it. Together we are putting this information onto a large graphic organizer where we can examine it all in one place. It helps us compare penguins’ heights,weights, and characteristics. One of the special adaptations that penguins have is a thick layer of blubber that helps them survive in the icy waters of Antarctica. Our class was able to feel for themselves how this insulation creates a barrier from the cold. Ask your child to tell you about our “Blubber Glove” experiment!
