All About Penguins!
This cold winter, first grade students learned about penguins in class and in the LMC. We first studied a map to discover the many places in the Southern Hemisphere that penguins live in addition to Antarctica! We practiced taking notes after listening to a PebbleGo chapter on the King penguin, focusing on where the penguin lives, what it eats and one extra-special fact. Each student then chose another penguin to learn about independently using the website PebbleGo or Facts4Me. We focused on listening carefully at least twice and writing down a few keywords as notes in a graphic organizer. Next each student used the iPad app Explain Everything, or ChatterPix to create a short movie, sharing what they know about their penguin.
