What Is Black and White and Smiling All Over?

What's black, white and smiling all over? Gan Daled on Penguin Day! On Monday, Jan 7th, the children dressed in black and white and acted like penguins waddling on ice. They pretended to be Emperor penguins carrying babies on their feet. 

Gan Daled particularly enjoyed playing in our class igloo and making snow with insta-snow, an amazing powder that erupts into a fluffy white snow when water is added. The children also enthusiastically prepared and ate special penguin treats made of Oreos, candy corn and mini marshmallows.

Adult penguins come in different sizes ranging from 16 to 48 inches. We compared the heights of the penguins with the heights of our children by mounting the face of an Emperor penguin at 48 inches, an Adelie penguin at 30 inches and a Little Blue penguin at 16 inches. Each child was invited to see eye to eye with a penguin.
It was a very special day for all!
