Penguins

Students used information they have learned to create a true to life size penguin. After measuring the exact size and indicating how high on the paper it would reach, students sketched drawings of either a king, emperor, gentoo, little blue, rockhopper, or chinstrap penguin.  Then, they painted the penguin using the class data chart, making sure to include the right color beak, feet, and distinguishing features of their particular penguin. INQUIRE with your child which penguin he/she chose and how tall it is. After cutting these penguins out, students have been playing a variety of sorting games based on each penguins features.
