The kiddos love listening to stories about penguins and drawing pictures of them, but there’s just something unique about watching real penguins waddle and slide! One little boy was so glued to the screen that he just didn’t want to stop watching! “But we have to keep watching! I mean LOOK! They’re CLEANING THE ROCKS….and wait! That one’s about to jump in!!” The enthusiasm of this age group has been so contagious already! I can’t wait to see how the rest of the semester plays out!

Fun fact of the day: Young penguins hang out in groups called Kindergartens!

Penguin Pre-K and Penguin Kindergarten are two fun learning app for kids. Two apps are very similar on the game play, except some differences on learning content. For Pre-K, the problems are number values, ten-frames, 0-5 addition/subtraction, upper/lower case letters, geometry, color words, and pie graph comparisons. For Kindergarten, many contents are similar, but the math extends to 0-10 addition/subtraction, tally marks, and even mahjong counting.

Level 5 unit – Before I knew I was going to write up a unit and make printables for this book, I had already purchased this Easy Make & Learn Projects- Penguins. It has really cute folds and fun projects to complete. This is not a mandatory purchase in order to complete this unit; it is just a supplement.

Tasha “taught” me all about penguins one day. Two interesting facts that I was surprised she knew were that they live at the south pole not the north pole and that they use their wings for swimming not for flying.

The first 2 weeks of July saw us on Winter break. Noo was home on school holidays so we took a break from lessons too.

This is by far the most amusingly cute and adorable story we have read to date. OMGsh, its so adorable and the kidlets love it. Koko has read it aloud numerous times and has a good giggle at the end (with a few LOL’s inbetween). I highly recommend it for little ones!

My kids just loved the penguin craft we did. It was a lovely winters day too, so they got to spend some extra time outside enjoying the warm weather. Gotto love Africa! For directions on how to make this craft, see the resources section below.

You need:
2 Slices of whole wheat bread
Cheese spread
1 Carrot
1 Grilled chicken breast (I used one left over from the night before)
Lettuce
Candied eyes
Pumpkin cookie cutter
Paring knife

Method:

  • Cut the bread using the pumpkin cookie cutter, remove the stalk.
  • Spread cheese spread onto each penguin. This will also work as “glue” to stop your penguin form falling apart.
  • Slice the carrot thinly, use two slices per penguin. Cut a small triangle out of each round to make a foot shape and use the cut off triangles for the penguin beaks.
  • Slice the chicken breast length ways for the wings.
  • Assemble your penguin, as below, and use a little roughly chopped lettuce as “ground cover”.
