With so much snow this winter, I thought it would be interesting to learn about penguins. Lower elementary students watched part of March of the Penguins, a documentary on emperor penguins in Antarctica. I was surprised to learn some fun facts about these resilient creatures. For example, did you know: penguins can hold their breath for 15 minutes, the father and the mother watch over the egg and chick, they can go without food for two months, and it is VERY cold where they live. Students painted a snowy background first, then cut out penguins from paper and added skis, snowboards, sleds, scarves and other delightful details. These should be heading home after gracing our hallways first.
