Penguins

Last week we read non-fiction texts to learn about penguins.  First, we recorded our Penguin Schema, or what we knew about penguins.  After reading our book, students drew and wrote something they learned.  Here is the chart we made with this information. 

 

Some of our New Learning included:
*They are birds.
*They do not fly.
*Penguins eat squid, fish, and krill.
*They swim in the water.
*There are many kinds of Penguins.  We especially liked the Rockstar Penguin.
They live in the Antarctic.
They use their flippers to swim. 
They walk on ice. 
They huddle together to stay warm.
The male penguins watch the egg while the female hunts for food.  
The penguin sits on their feet to stay warm.
Baby feathers are not waterproof.

At the end of the week, we painted penguins.
