Penguins

I always enjoy this time of year as we begin to learn about penguins.  To start our learning, students recorded what they knew about penguins using Padlet.  Next we had a gallery walk where I placed a picture on one of the 5 sheets of chart paper.  As students walked around they jotted down things they noticed and/or wondered.  After we shared and compared each chart, I pulled out my non-fiction penguin books.  Students gathered around reading/talking/sharing as they browsed the books.  I can tell they are just as excited as I am to learn more about penguins just by their engagement!
