Penguins

On Friday the children learned that there is a bird that does not adapt to winter, it does not migrate, and it does not fly.  This bird is a penguin.  The children visited three different centers on Friday.  With Mrs. Severson the children used cubes(nonstandard units of measure) to measure the length of three different penguins.  They measure the largest penguin, the Emperor penguin, the smallest penguin the Fairy penguin, and they measured a Macaroni penguin.  At my center the children used stickers to make a penguin counting book.  With Miss Sue the children cut out the letter a.  They then colored animals and glued them on the letter.

During play time on Friday Kyra Jo had the idea to play birthday party. I had a play cake, a crown, and candles in storage.  On Tuesday we will expand on her idea by adding invitations to the house center, as well as gift bags, wrapping paper, and ribbons.
