Good evening, y’all! I’m not gonna lie… I just woke up from a little after-school nap. It’s cold and rainy here, and that’s just not the kind of weather you stay awake in. So, before I fall back into dreamland, I thought I’d show you what we’ve been up to!
This week in language arts we have been reading and learning about
penguins. I mean, seriously, how stinkin’ cute are those little guys?! My kids just cannot get enough! Did you know that you can watch a LIVE
Penguin Cam from
Sea World?? One of my sweet teammates sent me
THIS LINK and we can hardly take our eyes off!
To make things even more fun, we did some penguin research. Each group of students researched a type of penguin using books, websites (I just google “penguins for kids”), and other nonfiction resources. After they dug into their research, they made “true-to-size” versions of their penguin out of butcher paper. I must say, I am loving how they turned out!
Well, I made it without falling asleep! Now I’m off to figure out a plan B for dinner. My crockpot ruined the pot roast yet again! What’s up with that?! Frozen pizza will have to do :/
