Blubber

     Today we learned more about penguins. We thought some of the penguin names were kind of funny (like "Macaroni"). 

      We have learned that blubber helps keep penguins warm in that cold water!!!  Today we did a little experiment to see -- or feel-- for ourselves!  We put both our hands into a tub of cold water, but on one hand we were wearing a "blubber glove" . (We used our imaginations, to pretend it was really blubber -- like on penguins and whales!). We discovered that the hand without blubber got cold VERY quickly, while the blubber hand stayed warm.

Our "Star of the Week" did a terrific job yesterday telling us all about herself. Thank you for sharing!

Today for sharing, we saw snacks and stickers -- for the letter /s/.  And guess what?? …  she shared her "sharing" with the rest of the class. Thank you for the delicious banana chocolate chip muffins. They were yummy!!!
