Penguins in KDH

What book are the children looking at and listening to with such interest? Anartica. 

KDH welcomed penguins into the classroom this morning. Four little penguins made their home in our tray filled with "snow." A fuzzy penguin joined the children in the block area. Luba and Motty made them a home. The wind up penguin begged to be named. Theo's suggestion, Mr. Waddle, was chosen.
Mia told the class that penguins live in Anartica. Max added that it is very cold there. In the summertime it is as cold there as is in Atlanta during the winter.

We waddled across the classroom like penguins and stood in our rookery balancing an egg on our feet.

So why did we bring penguins into our classroom? We thought they would be at home in our cold winter weather. And, we love them too!
