Jack's teacher is fascinated with penguins, so for the whole month of January they studied the various types of penguins, their habitats and so on. At the end of the unit, the kids are allowed to dress as a penguin for the day. Jack, from what I hear, had the best costume. I will admit, Duane was the mastermind behind the costume. After it was said and done, we had about a $40 penguin headed to school. The pictures really don't do the costume justice.
Jack did come home describing penguins I had never even heard of, so it was fun listening to his descriptions. His favorite seems to be the Emperor.
This week we are working on a penguin report and a diorama. I helped him with the diorama, and I will have to say, it is very cool! Jack is very creative and really made some neat things for it. The picture of that will be coming soon!
