It's National Penguin Day!
Grades K-2: Interactive livestream
Overview
It's National Penguin Day and we are diving into our favorite subject, our beloved African penguins! Come waddle with us and get updates on the Academy's own colony of penguins. We'll also learn what makes penguins such a unique bird and how their body parts make them both cute and well fitted to survive in their ocean habitat.
This live session is a 35-minute lesson, taught by a team of professional educators, and broadcast to YouTube Live. Educators will connect with students through an interactive presentation. Teachers will have access to optional extension activities for students to do.
Schedule: January 19, 2024
Pick the language option that works best for your class:
9:45 am, presented in English
11 am, presented in English and Spanish
Registration is now closed, but don't fret! We'll post the recording by the afternoon of the event.

Connection & technology information
A week before the session, registered parties will receive an email containing the unique YouTube Live destination for the broadcast. If you registered on behalf of multiple classes, forward this along to your buddy teachers.
We highly recommend testing—in advance of the program date—whether the device you plan to use can access YouTube Live. If you can see our Live Penguin Cam, you should also be able to watch other Academy livestreams.
Sorry! The Academy cannot control your district’s security settings.
If you or your students cannot access the Students tab above, you must contact your IT department to whitelist this website.
If you or your students’ district devices cannot access YouTube Live or YouTube videos, you can instead play the embedded Recordings, which we will post within 48 hours of the broadcast.
Our programs are designed so that students can participate asynchronously; all interactive aspects such as Mentimeter polls and Padlet student submissions remain active through the semester.
If you have questions or need us to resend the email (check your junk folder first!), please contact us at distancelearning@calacademy.org. We recommend adding that email address to your contacts to help ensure our messages are accepted by your district's email domain.
