1-2-3 Come Do Some Penguin Activities With Me

Studying penguins is one of our winter themes that my students really enjoy. With that in mind, I designed “Waddle Lot Of Fun”.

penguin-activities-penguin-word-work-penguin-writing-prompts-peguin-crafts-penguin-games-penguin-centersBecause my school does Daily 5, word work is a part of our day; so I’m always looking for quick, easy and fun ways to build vocabulary within a specific theme.

Besides word work, this penguin-packet is filled with lots of activities that will help you practice a variety of standards, while learning a bit about penguins.

Simply choose what’s appropriate for your kiddos then “Print & Go!”
