Fables and Folktales Chatterpix

Our students did an awesome job coloring, writing, and recording for the Fables and Folktales unit! We learned all about parts of a story, personification, and morals, among other things. Listen to the characters of some of our books tell you their story :)

The Penguin Lady

Today we had special visit from Dyan deNapoli, aka the Penguin Lady! 


Dyan shared her extensive penguin knowledge with us through pictures, quizzes, stuffed animals, and her very own penguin calls. Did you know that some penguins can dive down 1,700 feet? Or that rather than the hollow bones that most birds have, penguins have solid bones that help them swim? How long do you think a penguin can hold its breath? Ask your student what else they learned!
