Penguins & Blizzard Day

Well...this post is a little late in coming but maybe you can find something you like to add to your penguin lessons for next year! We have had soooo many days off, early outs and late starts due to weather that we are waaaay behind in everything! I am also having a super hard time trying to decide what to cut from our activities!

Story Souvenir

Fiction and nonfiction book with 

penguin eraser for each student

Penguin craftivity with writing

I gave students a large sheet of copy paper

and had them draw a large iceberg and two

small icebergs below it.

Whole

Part  Part

We named it Nice Icy Land!

(Tacky the Penguin books)

I gave each student a small cup of penguin

cheese crackers (Wal-Mart).

We solved many different story problems 

using our penguins and Nice Icy Land!

You can have the students record the

problems you solve inside the large iceberg.

Blubber experiment

This is from my Blizzard Day pack.

Students are dressed wacky for

Wacky Tacky Day from my

Tacky the Penguin packet.

I wear a Hawaiian shirt and black glasses

(3D glasses from a movie theater with the

lenses popped out) with tape around the nose piece.

Wish I would have had someone take a picture 

of me! Hopefully next year!

It's a BLIZZARD...INSIDE?!?!

All I told students the day before Blizzard Day
was wear white to school tomorrow if you have anything!

They couldn't wait to find out why!

I started to get a whole class picture
of us all in white...battery died!

By the time it was charged I'd forgotten
no one was around to take the picture for us!

Snowball fight!

Sight word snowball fight!

Melt an Ice Cube Game/ Science Experiment

Most of the kiddos discovered salt melts

the ice faster than any other way!

We are wearing our coats because it is -degrees outside

and I cracked the window open!

Normally I'd have a fan going too

but it was plenty cold!

We ate our snowball food and finished

watching March of the Penguins!
