During our polar animal unit, we especially focused on penguins.
Penguins on Puffy Snow Art
The kids loved using puffy snow paint so much, that we brought it back out again to create some penguin pictures.
For this project, I modeled drawing a penguin with basic shapes and it was really fun to see how the students applied that to their own work.
Don't Feed the Penguin Game
I was inspired by
this game to make this number recognition game.
I made the little fish out of orange pipe cleaner, and added the tweezers for an extra fine motor challenge.
Shape Penguins Craft
I cut out a bunch of different kinds of shapes, and the students were free to use whichever ones they wanted to create their penguin.
Journal Writing
In the end, it was fun to see what everyone had learned about penguins as they wrote in their journals. One boy told me he didn't know that penguins had tails, one drew about a penguin sitting on an egg to keep it warm, one told me a story about a penguin diving into the water. The one above made sure to use yellow because he wanted to make an emperor penguin.
