Penguins and senses!



We learned more about penguins.  First, we wrote all of our schema which means it is our background knowledge (stuff we know already).  Then we listened to another story and we learned that penguins can eat a fish without biting.  We know that baby penguins are grey.  Penguins can swim.

We got some gingerbread playdough.  We had to make shapes with it.  I will show you at home.  We made a cube shape.  Can you make a hexagon shape?

We continued to learn about our sense of sight!  We used bumps today which is Braille.  Braille is used for blind people to read.  They have to feel the bumps to know what it says.  The order of the bumps means it is a certain letter of the alphabet.

  1. Thank you for sharing your learning about penguins. How do penguins swallow the fish without choking?
    We would love to try out your braille words sometime.

    1. Thanks for reading our blog! A penguin doesn't choke because it swallows very small fish. They have to eat 60 lbs. of food a day! That's a LOT of fish.
