Mrs. Zapata's Visit/Penguin Measurement Activity

Mrs. Zapata came today and talked to us about the grain group and why it's important for us to eat foods from that food group.  She showed us some wheat and read the story "The Little Red Hen."  We then got to eat whole wheat bread.  We can't wait to see what food we get to sample next week with Mrs. Zapata!

We learned that Emperor Penguins are 4 feet tall.  After learning this, we each stood next to the penguin Mrs. Bickel made that was 4 feet tall.  We also completed a graph while doing this activity and discovered that not many students are 4 feet tall yet in our class!
