Penguins and the Arctic

Hello Families!

Are you cold enough yet? We are feeling like we are in the Arctic, so what a better time than to talk about how penguins and other animals survive the extreme cold.

We will have fun learning about these funny looking birds that don't fly, but waddle!

Here is a Peek of the Week:

Monday - We will be introduced to penguins by reading and discussing the facts about Arctic animals.



Tuesday- We will make penguins with their bellies full of krill.( fish food)



Wednesday- We will make an Arctic dessert! (Ice blue Jell-o and swedish fish.)



Thursday- We will do an experiment with ice water and how blubber keeps the penguin warm.



Friday- We will be making some adorable Penguin puppets.



Here is some of our vocabulary words for this week: penguin, waddle, krill, slide, Arctic, blubber, chick, insulation, beak, huddle.



Please have your child bring in anything that pertains to the theme, or anything that is black and white.
