As we waddle our way into winter, our K2 students and teachers are excited about the unit we have started learning- all there is to know about penguins! We’ll kick off with reading about a very silly penguin named Tacky the Penguin in the story written by Helen Lester. We will go on to read a series of these books all about the adventures of Tacky. Then throughout the next few weeks, we will be learning all about the penguin life-cycle, facts about their habitats, and what they eat. We will test out what it’s like to have blubber, how important their feathers are, and if we are taller or shorter than an Emperor penguin.
Our students have also been learning all about seasons and weather, through our reading curriculum and science. They understand the characteristics of each season and will soon learn why penguins and other arctic animals are able to live in a place where it’s winter all of the time!
K2 has been working hard learning addition, and now subtraction. We are putting that math to use, and counting down the days until our fast-approaching 100th day of school!
