Perfect and Plentiful Penguin Packet and Ideas {a giveaway}

In January, we love, Love, LOVE to teach about penguins. They aren't icky or gross like the spiders we study, creepy or spooky like the bats...so it is much more enjoyable to teach! Who doesn't love to learn about cute, cuddly penguins and watch them waddle!

 I've been working on {my} perfect penguin packet that I know my firsties will just swoon over!

  1. My favorite part of January (besides my birthday and snow days) is that I truly know my students and we can celebrate their progress. They have learned so much! We have assessments most of next week and I would love to use your penguin unit to keep the week enjoyable. youngmel67@gmail.com

  3. My absolutely favorite part of January is FINALLY getting to February! ;) No, really...although it's not my favorite month of the year...I enjoy teaching about Arctic Animals (Penguins, Polar Bears, etc.) and different "snowy" activities we can do. :)
