Penguin Science

Hi everyone! When we came back from our winter break, we "dove" right into penguin studies.  This is a "all inclusive" study as we are using penguins to learn more about reading, writing, researching,  mathematical concepts  (such as measurement, data collection, temperature, addition, subtraction) geography and weather.  Being able to learn about one topic from many disciplines adds depth of knowledge and helps the brain turn neural circuits (concepts) into into neural networks ( language).  The more neural networks we gain as learners, the easier it is to learn new concepts in the future.

Here are some pictures of our shared research.  We are also viewing many ideas about penguins - many scientists have recorded penguin antics.  We have also kept a science notebook with our written learnings about penguins.  Much opportunity for reading, writing, and calculating everyday! Soon will be puppet making and sculpting!
