When we first brought out the potatoes we didn't think we were going to paint with them!
But just like our nature paintings, we thought outside the box to decide what materials to use to make our own penguin prints!
We painted a larger potato black and a smaller potato white. After we pressed the black one on to the paper, we pressed down the white one. We ended up with many playful penguins !
Later we lied out a sheet and pretended it was an "iceberg," and we pretended to be "penguins!" We had to decided if our whole class of penguins would fit on the iceberg and if so how many. Then we folded the sheet in half several times, each deciding if we could still fit.
We learned to make hypotheses and learned about fractions. It was really fun to try and squeeze onto the iceberg and not fall into the water!
