I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since my last post! Things have been a bit hectic as I transitioned from student teaching in a third grade class to practicum in a first grade class. I love my new group of kiddos! We are currently learning about penguins in science, and I wanted to share two live penguin webcams that the little ones LOVED watching!! California Academy of Sciences Penguin Cam Monterey Bay Aquarium Penguin Cam The kiddos love listening to stories about penguins and drawing pictures of them, but there's just something unique about watching real penguins waddle and slide! One little boy was so glued to the screen that he just didn't want to stop watching! "But we have to keep watching! I mean LOOK! They're CLEANING THE ROCKS....and wait! That one's about to jump in!!" The enthusiasm of this age group has been so contagious already! I can't wait to see how the rest of the semester plays out! Fun fact of the day: Young penguins hang out in groups called Kindergartens! ~Miss Hunt

It was a bit odd giving you all a Day Packet on Bats the other day when considering that most schools are either doing a winter or a summer theme. So today I'm going to give you a little Penguin Day Packet. Just click on the worksheet to download. A day packet on PENGUINS. Includes: 1. Penguin cover page 2. Penguin fact worksheet 3. Can Have Are flip book - double sided 4. Penguin question page 5. Four pages of photo instructions on how to assemble the pack. { I did cheat a little on this one - I just copied over the Bat instructions - which are going to be the SAME. } This was good as it saved me some considerable time. :o) And today I'm linking up with: and and I hope you will join us. Thanks for visiting.
