Penguins:
We started our unit on penguins this week by talking about what we already knew about penguins.
We learned about the parts of a penguin.
We learned about the life cycle of a penguin.
The penguin starts out as an egg.
The mom and dad penguin carries the egg on their feet and keeps it warm with a brood pouch.
The chick hatches from the egg.
The chick grows into an adult penguin and the cycle starts again.
SNOW:
We have been having fun with the snow both outdoors and....
We added some food colouring to the snow and after a while the blue and yellow spots made the whole thing green.

Numbers:
We have been learning about numbers 1 to 10. This week we learned numbers 8-10 and the different ways that we see them every day. Now we will learn how to write the numbers and complete activities that reinforce what we have learned.
