We have been doing research on a variety of (six) penguins with Mrs. Anstee, our librarian. We began as a whole class learning about the Adelie penguin. We then divided into 5 groups of 4 students to work on a different penguin (as a group) each week. These penguins are: the Gentoo, the Galapagos, the Rockhopper, the Little Fairy, and the Chinstrap. We have two weeks left in our research timeline. Each week the students have completed a booklet on one of these penguins.
In addition to this research we have created a height chart (with the penguins and the students recorded on it).
Students have enjoyed doing their research and learning about penguins.
