Penguins!

I hope your child is enjoying the penguin study as much as I am! Last week, we made penguins out of toilet tissue rolls, with the help of two room mothers, Mrs. Klingler and Ms. Rhan.  Those two extra sets of hands were certainly appreciated. Thanks, Ladies!

This week, since the students have finished their research on their penguin, we will be writing a paper about our newfound knowledge. We will also be making a life-size comparisons of penguins. We will be making graphs to show the differences and similarities!

We are also continuing our daily Power Reading.  From 3:00 until about 3:25, we are reading our chapter books. I am seeing a lot more time being spent on the actual reading, rather than the "just looking at the pictures."

Love those penguins! Jack Frost's friend, Pinky, changes locations every day. We have to find his location!  Pinky reports to Jack Frost about our classroom behaviors. He hasn't disappeared because of any bad behaviors!
