Emperor Penguin: How do you measure up?

What waddles and slides all over its belly in Antarctica?  A penguin of course! 

The past 2 weeks we have been busy learning about penguins.  We learned that the biggest penguins are called Emperor Penguins.  They are about 4 feet tall!  In our hallway we have a penguin that is 4 feet tall.  We measured ourselves to see if we are taller or shorter than an Emperor Penguin.  Take a look and see how your kindergartner measures up!

Igloo Architects

 We became kindergarten architects as we designed igloos out of marshmallows and tooth picks.  We graphed how many marshmallows we used in our igloo and drew a blueprint of our creation.  Take a look a decide which igloo you'd like to spend a night in!

Missing: Gingerbread Man!

Missing: Gingerbread Man

On Tuesday December 6th we made a delicious looking gingerbread man.  After 15 minutes in the oven, we went down to go and get him, but POOF he was gone!  The oven was empty.  In the kitchen we found a lot of gingerbread crumbs and a note from our gingerbread man.  He wrote "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man.  Don't go any farther.  I'm not to be found.  For I'm off to see the world all around! I will keep in touch, so keep checking your mail.  I hope I can send many faraway tales!"

He has 2 yellow eyes.

He has 1 blue mouth.

 He has 1 purple nose.

He has 3 green buttons.
