1/12 Classroom Update

After winter break with polar temperatures, we had so much fun learning about polar animals this week! We learned about animals that live both in the Arctic Circle, as well as Antarctica. We located both the North and South Pole on a globe and map, and discussed what the climate is like and what kinds of animals live there. We learned that there are 17 different types of penguins in the world and learned identifying features of four popular types: emperor penguins, adelie penguins, rockhopper penguins, and chinstrap penguins. After reading the sweet friendship story Penguin and Pinecone, we also made our very own adorable pinecone penguins!
