Penguins in Kindergarten!

On Wednesday, Mr. Eddie, from the Cincinnati Zoo, brought two penguins to visit our kindergarten students. Bubba and Charlie were great entertainers, and our students loved getting to watch them walk around in their enclosure and eat their fish lunch. Students got to smell and feel some penguin feathers and were able to learn a lot of interesting facts from Mr. Eddie.

   

More Penguins!

Today we continued our penguin theme by reading 'Three Cheers for Tacky' and then writing our opinion on what was the best part of the story. After that, we discussed the different body parts of a penguin and even made some of our own little black and white cuties. One student chose to read a nonfiction book about penguins when she was finished.

My favorite part was when he cheered. 

My favorite part is when he messed it up. 

My favorite part was when Tacky fell. 

Penguins visit Kindergarten!!!

Mr. Eddie, from the Cincinnati Zoo, brought two African penguins to visit our class today. Charlie is 13 years old and Bubba is two years old. We learned many interesting facts about these penguins and really enjoyed watching them as they were fed, as they walked around, as they groomed themselves, and even as they went to the bathroom on our floor! Be sure to ask your child about his/her favorite part and what he/she liked learning about the most!

We learned that having a black back and white tummy helps keep the penguins safe as they swim through the sea.
