Finishing Up With Penguins

I thought we were finished with our polar animal unit last week, but we've been having so much fun with penguins that I had to add one last day.  We sorted out the penguin life cycle and then pretended we were little daddy penguins who had to carry our eggs on our feet to keep our babies warm.  The kids carried their 'eggs' to me, where I rewarded them with some krill (le krill).  I had some of them fooled that they'd really be eating seafood!  Instead it was just a peach gummy candy.

 

After that we learned about how penguins keep warm by huddling close together to shelter each other from the wind.  Here is our (super cute) penguin huddle.
