Tuxedo Junction, Avon East Students spend time with Penguins


Three 2nd grade classes from Avon East completed their Penguin units with special guests from the Indianapolis Zoo. Avon East Elementary School joined the Warren County Learning Center, Maple East Elementary School and Towne Meadow Elementary School as each school shared their knowledge on this unique bird of the Antarctic.

The presenters from the Indianapolis did a fantastic job discussing the birds and their characteristics. Using the Zoo’s Penguin exhibit as their back ground, video clips of chicks and other skeletal pieces to helped students get a better understanding of the difference of bird species. The students enjoyed the program and the educational materials, but preferred their time watching the penguins.

Way To Go Indianapolis Zoo!
