PENGUINS in Antarctica!

Now that we have learned about the North and South poles of the Earth, we took it a step farther and learned about the ANIMALS that live there!

Penguins were on the top of our list of animals to learn about! Here we are searching through books to find out more about them!

We discovered that PENGUIN DADDIES balance their eggs on their feet!
After trying it ourselves, we found they make it look easier than it really is!



We measured ourselves against the height of different types of penguins and found that they aren't much bigger than us! In fact, there were some penguins that were much much smaller! 

We played some penguin math games by matching the number on the penguin's belly with the amount of dots on their eggs.

We then used our finger prints to make a "Days of the Week" counting book...

They turned out so stinking cute!

Stay tuned for MORE posts on ANIMAL HABITATS!!
