Penguin Habitats

Students held a joint Zoom call with a Dallas Zoo penguin expert, then met twice to brainstorm nest designs and materials.

 

First Graders went back to their classrooms to talk, read, and learn more about penguins and their problems, including the nesting sites, over-fishing of their feeding grounds, and water pollution. They created some gorgeous posters with persuasive writing and illustrations to educate and inform. The theme ties into their Social Impact theme of Animals in the Community. 

 

Fourth Graders spent their time in Science class building nest models from their requested materials.
