In this one-time class, young ocean biologists will learn about the penguin. What do you already know about them? What new things will your young biologist learn? We will learn more about their habitat, what they eat, what makes this bird unique, & more! You will hear a story about a real life penguin and man who became friends! We will create a very cute Play-Doh penguin. I go step by step so even young artists can be successful! Don't forget to bring a few cartons of Play-Doh & child-safe knife to class!  

I use colorful slides, a combination of lecture and interactive teaching, movement, and a few brief video clips. Your marine explorer will have an opportunity to tell what they know or see at the beginning of class and many opportunities to interact all throughout class. 
Shy learners are included by name and encouraged to share but will never be forced to talk. 

You will receive a coloring sheet as well. This can be completed after class for extension & fun. Or students without Play-Doh can color it while others create the Play-Doh penguin.
 
Please bring 3 Play-Doh colors as well as a Play-Doh knife, or child safe knife.
