Those are so cute! Use glue sponges, they have saved me so much glue!! 🙂
Thanks for all the wonderful ideas. I can't wait to get started with our penguin unit with the help of your Waddle With Me unit. Can you clarify for me if when your students completed their “group investigation” looking at Name, Diet, Habitat, Fact…. did each group then work collaboratively on the drawing/coloring a penguin and sticky note posters or did each student complete one? Thanks so much… you're very inspiring!

You have great ideas for your penguin unit! I will probably be purchasing it to add to my unit! I also have my kiddos do penguin research with a partner. Then we make a big class mural. They need to make their penguins life size. The partner group that gets the 4 foot emperor penguin is always excited to get to make such a big penguin! This brings a little math into our unit with measuring. Then they have to put their penguin on the correct habitat, either snow or rocks. They also have a speech bubble above each penguin with the kind of penguin it is and two facts about it. It is always a highlight at the end of our unit!
