Penguins

This week we learned all about penguins. We read a non-fiction story on the different types of penguins. One of the interesting things we discovered was that penguins have wings, but they don't fly! We also found out that penguins go for weeks at a time not eating so that they can stay seated on their egg and keep it warm. A video on penguins let us see them in action and gave us some more interesting facts. On Thursday, we created penguins by tracing our foot (for the body) and adding wings, eyes, a beak, and feet!

I love the penguins you made. It sounds like you learned a lot about penguins this week. I always thought it was funny that they call baby penguins chicks. Don't you think that is funny too?
Keep up the good work.
