Penguins

We have been learning all about penguins these past few weeks.  We have learned specifically about 6 of them; Rockhopper, Chinstrap, Gentoo, Emperor, Little Blue and King.  The students love this unit and have been so invested in their learning.  It is an exciting time to watch them grow.  They even play "penguins" at recess!  I wanted to share some links with you that we have enjoyed exploring so that you can continue the excitement over break.  Also, if you've never been to the Boston Aquarium, they have a fantastic penguin exhibit (which may be under some construction right now).  Your child could probably narrate the tour for you!    You should also check out the King Penguins on South Georgia Island...makes me want to go there now!  And the penguin webcam at SeaWorld.  Amazing creatures!!
