Happy New Year!!
This is the point of the school year where things really ramp up,
and I always tell my kinders to get ready for the ride!
When we get back we’ll be learning about all things cold,
including animals in the arctic!
I have never used Penguins as one of my units,
I thought that this year would a good place to start!
I finished this pack just in time, since Winter Break
seems to be officially over!
This pack is LOADED with tons of informational slides
on penguins, which I have also included in a PPT,
so that you can project it to your students.
We have a penguin bubble map, and a penguin KWL chart
and tree map, both which come with headers so that you can
create a class anchor chart. There are headers included for
a penguin schema chart as well.
There are several options for students to record their research,
which will be great for differentiation.
Students can write their research down,
or illustrate the pages where some penguin facts are included.
There are also sentences that students will need to cut
out and put in order, which will be great for
students who need a little bit more assistance.
Also included is a labeling page, life cycle of a penguin (anchor
chart headers included), penguin vocabulary booklet (or you could
choose to put vocab pages in their non-fiction research book),
and a fiction penguin reader.
Anchor chart headers…
….and this incredibly cute penguin craftivity!!!
I’m not one for creating crafts, so I was really excited about how
this one turned out!
Pin for later!
