Penguins

Our class has been talking about penguins this week. We made penguin folders to hold some of our activities we plan to do.

All About Penguins

The class talked about five different species of penguins on Friday and completed a project illustrating each type and adding a fact for each.

Penguin Parade

We are studying penguin this month. We have been talking about where penguins live, the different species, and other general facts. We wanted to see how tall penguins are and see that they are not all the same size so we traced life size penguins and worked on committees to complete them. We found that the smallest penguins are the little blue and the largest are the emperor penguins. Thanks so Katy's mom for helping us measure and trace the penguins and our high school friends from Mrs. Oxford's class for helping us write our penguin facts. Take a stroll down our hall to see our penguin parade.

Reading Buddies

The students from one of Mrs. Oxford's classes from the high school visited our class on Friday. Our first graders were so excited to meet them and begin to get to know them. They will be coming every Friday morning for the rest of this semester to read or practice language arts skills with our class. This week they read the story, Tomas Rivera, from our reading series with the kids. Then they each helped their first grade buddies complete a vocabulary worksheet. Finally, the first graders used books about penguins in our classroom or facts they had learned about penguins to write a sentence to add to our penguin display we are working on. The first graders really enjoyed the visit and are certainly looking forward to seeing their reading buddies next week.

We are beginning a study of penguins. Last week we made penguin folders to hold all of the fun things we do. Thanks to Kyra's mom for helping us finish them.
