March (or January) of the Penguins!

This month we covered Arctic life spanning from the people of the arctic to the weather and the animals. One of my *new* most favorite activities paper mache penguins!!

 These are just DARLING!! We learned that the biggest penguin is the  Emperor Penguin. We also talked a little about Polar Bears and did this cute activity. The kids had to stretch the cotton balls out before they could have any glue which inspired them to work a little harder than usual.

 

After all that stretching and gluing we winded down with a little Gummy (polar bear) graphing. We laid them out and then colored in the squares. Most of the kids did a great job waiting to eat their bears. We talked about greater than, less than, more, less, most and least. They loved the activity and I'm sure there will be similar activities in their future!
