Penguins

On this very cold Thursday morning, Storytime was all about penguins. Here's a cute little song we sang, to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot"-

I'm a little penguin, on the ice. 

I think the cold is very nice. 

I can hop around 

first once, then twice. 

I think cold is very nice.

Today we read several penguin books. Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester was a funny story about a penguin with odd mannerisms and how he saved his friends by just being himself. Turtle's Penguin Day by Valeri Gorbachev was about a turtle who dreamed he was a penguin, so he dressed like one to go to school. In Flight School by Lita Judge, all Penguin's friends joined together to help him soar like an eagle! And the rhyming book, Playful Little Penguins by Tony Mitton, told about groups of penguins playing, helping, and even sleeping in tight little groups. Do you know why?

Here's the craft we made - paper plate penguins with pointy beaks! We sang and danced with our penguins after they were finished!

After Storytime was all over, Brandie read us a funny book because we wanted to hear it. Thank you, Brandie!
