On Monday, January 14th we were thrilled to receive a very COLD package, delivered by Mrs. Ameixa, which had arrived from the South Pole!! You can still see some of the wet spots on the brown paper from where the ice melted!
Inside this package was: a novel (Mr. Popper’s Penguins); a letter from Admiral Drake (a character in the novel); a lovely little penguin named Pringle; and a Journal in which the students can write and share their home experiences with Pringle. This was a very exciting arrival for the students – and the adults in the room, as well!
Pringle, our class penguin, has already made home visits to the homes of: Maya A., Ateeq, Alex, and Justin. She is currently spending this weekend with Lyka and her family. When students bring Pringle back to school they share their home (and extra-curricular visits) with the rest of us through their written entries in the Journal. Pringle has been very busy enjoying a lot of different kinds of foods and activities!
All students are anxiously awaiting their turn taking Pringle home. When she arrives in your home I am sure your family will be very welcoming. Enjoy the experience!
