For part of this month, we will be studying Penguins. Recently, we read a story about penguins and the children were very interested. So we decided to learn more about Penguins.
Language
Children will be creating pictures about penguins and then write a sentence about their picture. For example, "penguins can not fly, penguins swim, penguins are black and white, penguins eat fish.
Children will be answering questions about penguins, so they have to pay attention when we discuss the facts about penguins(they are listed below) Yes and No answers.
Drama
Children like to walk around like a penguin with a pretend egg on their feet. They are very careful not to let the egg fall. Here is an example of two boys pretending to be penguins and moving the "egg" from one penguin to the other. We used the dice as penguin eggs.
Show and Tell
One of the students brought this beautiful piece of artwork that they did at home to share with the class for show and tell. It was the penguins on the iceberg, afraid to go swimming because of the killer whale in the water. It's great to see their learning being extended at home. Great job!!!

Penguin Treat
To create a penguin look-alike treat, you'll need:
*a half of a large Oreo with the white filling for the body
*You'll need a half of a mini Oreo with the filling for the head.
*Place the mini cookie slightly overlapping the larger Oreo at the top.
*If we need something to stick it with I may use a touch of white icing
*Now to make the face of the penguin use chocolate chips for the eyes.
*Now use a piece of orange candy corn for the beak.
*To make wings, we use the other half of the mini Oreo by cutting it in half and placing each half on each side of the body
