I Had a Little Penguin...

To celebrate our newfound knowledge of penguins, Gan Gimmel created our very own penguins out of paper mache!

WHAT'S BLACK AND WHITE AND SMILING ALL OVER?

Howie the Penguin

What's black, white and smiling all over? Gan Daled on Penguin Day! On Tuesday, January 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.

Let It Snow,  Let It Snow!!!

The children also enthusiastically prepared and ate special penguin treats made of Oreos, candy corn and chocolate chips.



Adult penguins come in different sizes ranging from 6 to 50 inches. We compared the heights of the penguins with the heights of our children by mounting the face of an Emperor penguin at 50 inches, chinstrap penguin at 29 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!!
