In January we had a delivery from the Antarctica. It was a penguin (named Pringle), the novel Mr. Popper’s Penguins, and a letter from Admiral Drake – a character from the novel. We have been reading this novel over the past few weeks and we will finish it up this week. Pringle has been making home visits with students in the classroom. The students have been making journal entries about their experiences with Pringle. Each morning the students read these journal entries to the class and share their pictures. Pringle has also been adorned with a variety of necklaces, bracelets, and ribbons as a result of these visits.
