I'm a little penguin (to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot", from Step by Step Childcare)
I'm a little penguin
In the sea.
I can swim fast as can be!
When I catch a fish just look at me,
I'm as proud as I can be. 

If You're a Penguin and You Know It (From Carnegie Library)
If you're a penguin and you know it flap your wings (flap arms like wings)

If you're a penguin and you know it flap your wings.

If you're a penguin and you know it waddle your feet. (waddle)

Penguin Hatching (from Preschool Powol)
I start out in an egg so round. (bend in egg shape)
Lying on the icy ground. (pat ground)
I crack and stretch and grow.
Then jump, jump, jump in the snow! (jump up)

Mama called the doctor and the doctor said: (pretend to talk on the phone)

No more penguins riding on a sled!

Craft: We colored and cut out a penguin template.

Literacy tip of the week: Talk about new words when you read together. For instance if you are reading about penguins you can demonstrate the what the word "waddle" means!
