Penguin week is always a favorite for our kiddos! This year our First Graders jumped right in! To wrap up our math unit on measurement, students learned about 4 kinds of penguins. We used inch tiles, unifix cubes, and rulers to measure the length of each penguin. They created a penguin fact sheet that included the actual penguin height, weight and key features. To finish off penguin week, students selected a penguin and created a life-size model. They could choose between Little Blue, Rockhopper, Chinstrap or Emperor. It is amazing to watch our learners take such care in their measurement to ensure that their penguin is 100% true to size. Ask your child to share some of their amazing penguin facts with you!
