This is my second year to teach all about penguins. I decided to create my first (rather large--by my creating standards) themed unit! It was *so much fun* to use something I created in my own classroom!
Our unit is 2 weeks long. The first week we spend learning all about penguins. The second week is spent on the different species of penguins. Here is a look at our 'All About Penguins' book from my packet.
We did a little creative penguin writing. We read the book If I Was a Penguin then wrote about what we would do if we were a penguin.
We talked about the differences between fact and opinions and completed our fact and opinion eggs.
And we ended our week by eating a little "penguin pie" or chocolate ice cream bars!!
Happy weekend!
Cute penguin unit! I didn't do a unit on penguins this year. Just ran out of time, I guess!
ReplyDeleteOh, I taught my kids about the "And Disease" and they thought it was hilarious! But they are getting it! I've only had to hand back a few papers and tell them, "Oh no you have the And Disease!'
Liz--so glad they caught onto the jist of the "and disease"!! I love how they just devour the idea and catch it on their own when I read it outloud to them. They immediately know what to fix!
