Mrs. Wright's Class:

Thanks to Mr. Horne at Hutchings Elementary for organizing these wonderful links for penguin research!

Use the following links to research your penguin:

• Kidzone Penguins
• Penguins of the World
• 17 Penguin Species

This week, we will begin research with the help of Ducksters.com. 

*Why do you think Mrs. Cain chose this website, rather than having you do a search on your own? 

*If you do not find the information you need on Ducksters.com, and you do a search on your own, what do you think you need to be on the lookout for?  Why?

The holiday season is a time for giving. Getting gifts is fun, but giving is so much more exciting! If you could give any gift to anyone, what would it be?  Open a new Google doc, and let's start dreaming big!
