Doin' the Ornithologist Bugaloo!

We have been spending the last two weeks transforming into Ornithologists as we study perhaps the funniest, most interesting bird of all--the PENGUIN! We have been partaking in...

Observation Charts



Narrative Input with the beautiful story A Mother's Journey

Collecting Facts on our Penguin Book Matrix
(The stories we have been reading are on the left, with the categories of the facts we have been collecting above.)

We have been reading so many stories, learning so many facts, and are realizing that the more we learn, the more we wonder!
First grades are wondering...
"Why are ice bergs so thick?"
"How do penguins climb up ice bergs?"
"Why is there sand in Antarctica?"
"Why is the water so cold in the Southern part of the globe?"

We have been keeping track of all our new knowledge in our very own Penguin Journals.
