What I'm Teaching ~ Penguins

I just LOVE penguins!  I don't know what it is that makes me love them ~ they way they waddle, their cute little black and white bodies, or just that they make me think about Happy Feet and all the fun music!


Anyway, Noah and I have been having some penguin fun this week!  Even though we still have much more to do, I thought I would show you some pics so far.  

He loved the Sliding Sounds activity from my Penguin Unit

I'm proud to say he is SO CLOSE to being able to sound out words on his own!  A little bit more practice and he'll be reading before I know it (and he's not even 4 yet) ~ woo-hoo!  :)

His new favorite thing to do is play all sorts of games, so we turned the upper/lower case letter match pages into a game of "Go Fish" and he had so much fun that he asked to play it twice in one day!

Here's some fun penguin ideas for you (mostly found on Pinterest).

A milk jug igloo would make a super COOL reading center! (image from flickr, but I couldn't find the source)

  3. I have actually made a milk jug igloo for my classroom. It was really difficult to find a glue that would allow the jugs to stick together firmly, but it turned out REALLY cute. The kids LOVED it. Visit my blog: The 3AM Teacher to see pictures. I also have tons of teaching resource freebies you can grab.

  5. Make a rundown of all your outgoings, Rent/Mortgage, Electric, Gas, Rates, Credit Cards, Loans and bear in mind anything, check and twofold check your rundown, the more regrettable thing is the point at which you include everything up and deduct it from your salary and find you have £500 a month to extra, "obviously I can spare" then the bomb drops as you overlooked the home loan or the advance and fate and melancholy return to. payday loans san-diego
