Science For Kindergarten:

After teaching the penguin life cycle, there are numerous ways you can extend your learning.

Here are a few ideas for keeping with the arctic animal and life cycle themes:

Read books about arctic animals and create a wall of facts to show what you learned about penguins and other animals while reading.
Compare different penguin species. How are emperor penguins, African penguins, and macaroni penguins similar and different?
Create an arctic animal sensory bin!
Explore the life cycles of other polar animals that live in the arctic like the snowy owl or polar bears.
Be sure to check out our arctic animal posters!
