Middletown (Monmouth County, NJ) -- Dunlop, an African Penguin from Jenkinson's Aquarium, visited the four Kindergarten classes on Friday, June 18 at Middletown Village Elementary School in conjunction with the school's hands-on science program. Dunlop's handlers taught students about the major penguin species, including Dunlop's habitat, daily grooming, eating and mating habits, as well as the bird's geography, and conservation efforts to preserve this unique species.
"Students at Village learn about science through hands-on projects, field trips and interactive programs such as the African Penguin presentation," says Principal Karen Zupancic.
The Middletown Village Parent Faculty Association (PFA), which raises funds throughout the school year, underwrites enrichment programs that reinforce science, history, culture and art taught in the classroom.
