Shhhh.....It's a PENGUIN ADVENTURE SURPRISE!!!

Dear Families,

Thanks for your support at our Terry Fox Run today! The weather was gorgeous, the kids were excited, the food was yummy....it was a super fun afternoon to support a great cause. 

PENGUINS!!! 

As you know, we have been learning about PENGUINS. Be sure to ask your child what they know about penguins!!! They might be able to tell you about what penguins eat, where they live, who are predators of penguins, what are penguin flippers good for, the names of some of the different kinds of penguins, what penguin babies are called, how penguin babies eat, etc. They already know sooo much! 

We have been reading penguin fiction and nonfiction books, watching a few factual videos about penguins made for children, playing penguin math games, doing penguin art projects, singing penguin songs....so much PENGUIN FUN!

Next week, on Wednesday the 16th, KG will be having a Penguin pajama party! Your child can wear his/her pajamas to school. We do have P.E. in the afternoon so be sure to tuck their sneakers in their backpacks or on their feet too. :-)

What I told the class is that we are going on an "ADVENTURE TO SEE THE PENGUINS and we are going to wear our pj's." Next week, I will present them with a pretend airplane ticket to Antarctica. Some of the children wondered a bit worriedly if there would be polar bears where we are going to see penguins...I assured them that we would be SAFE! What we really are going to do is turn on the AC's, cozy up and see the penguins in the movie HAPPY FEET...and have some popcorn and 'hot' cocoa. All of that is a SURPRISE! So, please play along. ;-)

If you are leaving early for the Winter Holiday, please let me know.

I hope you have a wonderful break! Enjoy. :-)
