The final week of January, we took a trip to Antarctica to study Penguins. Okay, we didn’t really go to Antarctica, but it did snow again in Prescott! We learned about five different species of penguins: Gentoo, Macaroni, Adelie, Emperor and Chinstrap Penguins. Much of our focus, though, was on the Emperor penguin and the love shown within their family unit. We watched the March of the Penguins. Then we discussed how God wants us to show love to everyone, especially our family. We also learned about icebergs. We made our own miniature icebergs and floated them in the bathtub. For a cute video of this, see the next post. We got sick toward the end of the week, so we used our extra week of January for more art appreciation and penguin activities, including painting penguins and flashcards of types and locations of the world’s penguins.
