Sometimes we read books to be entertained; however, today we were reading a non-fiction book titled, Penguins, to learn more information about penguins.
We added the new information to our chart.
Here is some of our new information.
*Penguins play with sticks to practice nest building.
*They hide from predators.
*Mother penguins give the fathers the egg to protect while they hunt for food.
*Papa penguins hold the egg on their feet.
*Penguins dive in a group into the water to distract predators.
*Baby penguins tap on the mama's beak when they are hungry.
*The largest penguin is the Emperor Penguin.
*Penguins can live in warm weather, not just cold.
*Some penguins make a burrow to hold their eggs.
*Some of their predators are whales, seals, and skua (a bird that eats penguin eggs).
*Penguins keep their flippers close to their body to stay warm.
We also moved the "They are odd." post-it to Misconceptions since this is an opinion, not a fact.
We practiced taking care of penguin eggs and walking around our classroom with them. This was very tricky!
We had some friends missing today since they were sick. We sang our "Wish You Well" Song, so hopefully they will feel better and can return tomorrow!
