Welcome back friends! I hope everyone is staying healthy, rested and safe! Our theme this week was Penguins!

During center time we worked on forming the letter N with our paint dobbers. On Thursday, we read " Little Penguin Stays Awake." During center time, we made cotton ball penguins! We even got to watch a couple of videos to learn new facts about penguins. On Friday, we read "Penguins". During center time, we began a penguin toilet paper roll stamping project. We started by building the background that the penguins would be on. The students torn and glued construction paper onto another piece to build the icebergs that the penguins were on and then stamped the penguins. We also got to watch Disney Nature movie "Penguins".
