Penguins!
The summer may be hot, but the elementary learners in my house decided to cool off on a three
day adventure with penguins!
After watching March of the Penguins, our curious little ones checked out several library books about penguins.

The books inspired us to make a lap book about
penguins. Most of our resources came
from Evan Moor's January Theme Pocket. Instead of making a pocket book, we glued file folders together,
accordion style, (cutting a rounded top for the top of the penguin-shaped book)
to make the framework of our lap book.
We covered the front cover with black construction paper, rounding the
top, and added a white oval for the penguin's tummy. Orange feet were added to the squared-off
bottom. A triangle beak and round white
eyes became the face. Inside the book we
made pockets for the information we collected, glued a map to one page, made a
graph of penguin heights, and sponge-painted a page with an arctic scene. One arctic scene can be seen in the photo
above. We hope our cool arctic adventure
inspires you to cool off during these warm months!
