| These were the covers of our Penguin Reports. The students created a penguin by drawing and cutting simple shapes such as ovals and circles. I used several pages from Deanna Jump's Penguin unit for the report. It is an awesome resource! |
 |
| Our Penguin Vocabulary. I love having the students draw a visual to match our vocabulary words. |
 |
| Our Penguin diagram. The students completed a page in their Penguin Reports which included a diagram. We discussed how diagrams are often found in nonfiction books to show information. |
 |
| The pocket chart shows words we used in our writing. We had a great time placing these words in ABC order too. |
 |
| I LOVE this organizational strategy to organize our thoughts. It helps us stay focused in our writing. |
 |
| Our class library contains both nonfiction and fiction books. The students just love the fictional stories about Tacky! This week, we are each creating a Penguin character and writing fictional stories about our own penguin characters. The stories are turning out really well. Tacky has been such an inspiration! |
