Waddling into Kindergarten

Penguins are popping up everywhere in Kindergarten!  January is an awesome month as we've begun learning about those cute cuddly birds of Antarctica.  We started off with a few art projects.  Adelie penguins greet all those who walk in the hallway.  Penguins dressed in bow ties and stocking caps adorn our classroom and a very beautiful January quilt the boys and girls made from hand prints turned to penguins along with their own snowflakes can be seen from our doorway.  We also measured each boy and girl and compared their heights to that of an Emperor penguin.  We could tell that the Emperor was very tall but we soon discovered many of us we not too far behind.  We then compared our measurements to a King penguin, Chinstrap, Macaroni and the smallest penguin Little Blue. We will continue to delight in learning more and more about the penguin as the month progresses - so stay tuned!
