Audience: Educators of all ages

Penguins are waddling their way to the Kansas City Zoo.  Let's prepare for them by
fully integrating penguins into your curriculum this coming school year.  Join us on
June 8th to talk to Jean Pennycook, renouned penguin researcher and educator.  We
will also share some ideas of how penguins can be a springboard for various
subjects across the curriculum.  And get a peak of what the penguin exhibit will
become in the next months, opening late 2013.  We will also do activities
demonstrating the challenges penguins are facing with climate change in their
habitat.

Scientists think I may be extinct in the wild. But I’m still popular with ranchers because I’m so pretty.
