Walruses-that's a mouthful! This week, we will finish up our penguin study by using Sergio Goes Swimming and retell the different parts of the story using a pie chart. This will help reinforce what we have been doing in reading. The last penguin piece is comparing informational text on penguins to fiction texts. Together on the smart board we will fill in a Venn diagram about what's different between the two stories and what can be similar between informational and fiction. Then we will take some fun penguin data on the stories we read the past two weeks! Hopefully, we will be on track for Walruses on Wednesday! We will read informational text on Walruses and use our PeggleGo site to help us learn about these unattractive animals! They will have record data similar to what they have been doing all year: Can/Have/Are sheet, diagram of a walrus and writing their information in facts (complete sentences). We will listen to a walrus whistle (it's quite amusing) and talk about how they may interact with other animals we have learned about! Since it was too cold to do some of outdoor activities, I'm hoping we can do that this week: learning about why animals have blubber and how that helps them stay warm. Also how Walruses use their tusks (we will try)! So lots of fun to be had still in the Arctic, brrr!
