Students wrote penguin facts on the inside of their construction paper penguins.
We went to the websites listed below to find out facts about penguins
and read lots of nonfiction and fiction penguin books.

Penguins I am a bird you know quite well All dressed in black and white And even though I do have wings They're not designed for flight. I waddle, waddle, waddle On my funny little feet Across the icy snow I go To find a fishy treat

In Praise of Penguins These funny birds in fancy clothes may waddle in the snow, but when they reach the icy sea Just watch how fast they go! Their song sounds like a donkey's bray, they cannot soar or fly, yet penguins manage very well, and let me tell you why... Their feathers keep out water, their blubber keeps out cold, their wings make perfect paddles, because they do not fold! Their tails are good for steeriing, they brake with both their feet-- So tell me now, from all you've heard... Aren't penguins NEAT? By Robin Bernard
We Love Penguins!
	To make these penguin books, take two 9x 12 pieces of black construction paper or one large piece 9 x 18 and fold in half. Put writing paper and any poems you want inside. I have writing paper with a place for a picture at the top, so I used that. Staple together. Round off top corners for the head Let students make their own white stomaches, eyes, and beaks. I had a pattern for the feet and most students chose to use that.
We did this poem on the pocket chart. Sentence strips are available through The Learning Post or through catalogue orders. Students choose words to go on the blanks: slide, sliding. Penguins, penguins, black and white cannot use their wings for flight. Penguins, penguins do not care. They just_______from here to there. Can you do what penguins do? Can you move by _________, too?
