ALL ABOUT PENGUINS

Second graders in Stokes School had been busy learning about penguins. There are so many types of penguins! The children read books on penguins and also browsed through the penguin websites on ITSD Elementary Links. The teachers incorporated the use of the projector in the computer lab and the Smart Board in classroom lessons.

The BrainPop movie about penguins describes general facts about penguins. There is even a short quiz at the end of the movie. The children researched their own penguins using Kidzone. The site has many facts and photos about the different types of penguins. Additional penguin websites in ITSD Elementary Links helped to further develop their reports. Many classes typed their reports and illustrated them on Microsoft Word.
