This past Wednesday was Penguin Day at Kaytlynn's school. They have done a 2 week unit on penguins including each child doing a report and life size artwork on a specifically assigned penguin. Kaytlynn was given the King Penguin which happens to be 36 inches tall (who would have guessed). We pulled out the tape measure and marked where it's head should be and feet should be, opened a book to a good picture of a penguin and let her go. I made sure to draw the details of the special markings for her, but other than that, she was on her own and did such a good job. All the kids wore black and white for school. Kaytlynn got a sparkly penguin shirt and got to pass goody bags out to all her friends. I had Kaytlynn and Delaney decorate plain white lunch bags with penguin stickers and stamps and sparkly snowflakes. Then I placed a penguin ornament, a black velvet pencil, stickers, peppermints, penguin finger puppets, and a small wooden penguin to paint inside. Kaytlynn thought that she was just too smart.
I just can't say how much I love Kaytlynn's teacher this year. She is a good teacher and really tries to bring fun to each and every lesson that she does with the kids.

I heard you say that you were sad that you never did show and tell in your class. You were a wonderful teacher in many different ways; even if you didn't do show and tell! I'm glad that Kaytlinn had such a good time!
awww how fun!!!
