Penguin & Polar Bear Presentations - THANK YOU!

The arctic temperatures stuck around long enough for our polar bear and penguin presentations today.  (It can warm up any time now!)  I would say it was a successful morning of presentations!  The students did a great job sharing the information the had found.  We had an array of projects including PowerPoints, Little Bird Tale ebooks, videos, posters and a diorama.  

Here are a few pictures of students giving their presentations.  Check out the anchor charts.  They started as empty pieces of paper.  The students wrote something they learned from each presentation on a post-it note and added it to the respective penguin or polar bear anchor chart.  You can't even tell which is which because the students learned so much!  What a powerful visual of all of the learning that took place today.  

As some saw today, technology either works with or against us.  Our virtual field trip with the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo was proof of this today. When we were able to understand the keeper in the aquarium, we learned a lot!  It was a great opportunity for students to have their questions answered by a really penguin expert!  

We will round off the day with a polar bear biscuit snack and complete a graphing activity.  

Thank you for taking time to join us today.  The students always love having guests!
