I’ve said it before — I just love studying penguins with first graders! I share our unit study ideas here, but in this post, I’d like to share an add-on activity that I’ve done with my class the past three years. I received Spy in the Huddle as a gift for Christmas. It’s long, but if you break it up into snippets, it’s doable. I’ve identified “stops” for each of the three episodes. We stop the video every once in awhile for review, discussion, debate, and learning!

While I own the DVD, we view it on Netflix because it’s much easier for two reasons:
- Our new laptops don’t have DVD drives. I could check out a drive from the library, but it has to be returned daily.
- Netflix “remembers” where we’ve left off each day.
Video is a powerful tool for learning. With that said, I want to be sure that the digital media that we use in our room is purposeful.
