After cutting the pieces out the children assembled them onto the wheel following the lifecycle. It is a wonderful way to present the information visually and, at the same time, encourages children to be able to retell the cycle in their own words.

Penguin Lifecycle
Daily we are learning so much about penguins from read alouds, shared poems and songs, and visual representations. In this case the students are learning about the lifecycle of a penguin. They understand that a penguin is oviparous as it hatches from an egg. The egg is kept warm in order for it to continue to develop and then after only a few months it hatches and finally a penguin is born.
