I found this awesome activity on pinterest. To illustrate how polar bears, penguins and other creatures stay warm with blubber, I filled two baggies with Crisco (our blubber) and put them in a bigger baggie. The "blubber" was put in a bowl of ice water (Antartica). The boys and girls took turns putting their hands between the baggies of "blubber" and in "Antartica". This was a great way to show how the animals stay warm with their blubber. My kiddos could really understand this concept because their hands in the "blubber" stayed nice and warm!!! The other hand well ................ B-r-r-r-r-r-r!!!
It was great fun!!!!
Each kiddo got to see if he or she was taller than an Emperor penguin.
Woo Hoo!! We are ALL taller than the Emperor penguins!!! It is fun to hear my former kiddos talk about whether or not they were taller than an Emperor penguin when they were in Kindergarten. Music to a teacher's ears!!!
This is our story tree. As we learned more and more about peguins, we added the information to a post-it. This will be our graphic organizer when get ready to write our sentences about penguins next week.
More penguin fun coming up...Stay tuned!
