Read Together: Penguin Q & A
Inside this issue are questions and
answers about a penguin’s body. But
be careful—some of the answers are
tricky! Encourage children to study the
pictures before answering each question.
For example: ¿Para qué usa las alas el
pingüino? You may think the answer is
volar, but look closely at the picture and
you will know the real answer is nadar!
• Reading emergent text
with purpose and understanding
• Water exists in different
states of matter
Read Together: Make
Predictions
Help children relate their clothing to the
weather in your area at this time of year.
Is it cold or warm outside? Next, display
the magazine spread. Help kids choose
the right clothes for a snowy day.
Activity: Snowball Soap
Make large flash cards, each with a
different letter on it. Be sure to include
many p’s. Hold the cards up one at time.
If the flash card has the letter p written
on it, kids should waddle like a penguin.
If you hold up any other letter, kids
should freeze in place. For individual
practice with letter recognition, you can
have children come to the front of the
room and call out directions as they
look at each card (¡pingüino! ¡congelado!)
Handwashing is important during flu
season—make it fun with snowball soap!
In advance, make soap flakes by grating Ivory soap with a cheese grater. (One
bar will yield three snowballs.) In class,
gradually add lukewarm water to a bowl
of flakes until the mixture is a moldable
consistency. Give children some arcilla de
nieve and let them mold snowballs. They
might stick three smaller balls together to
make a snowman! Let the soaps dry on a
tray overnight before children bring them
home. Remind them to lather up often for
a healthy winter!
Poem: “Un pingüino amigo”
Science: Water Cycle
Aquí donde hace frío
es mejor tener amigos
que te dan buen abrigo.
Otra manera de calentar
es irte a patinar
o con la barriga resbalar
por todo el hielo polar.
—por Isabel Santos
Explain to children that snowflakes are
frozen water. If you have access to snow
in your area, pick some up in a glass
and bring it into the class to show how it
melts into water. Then leave the glass in
the room and mark the water level in the
glass daily. As the time passes, discuss
what is happening to the water.
Activity: P Is for Penguin!

Read Together: Sign Up!
Read Together: Round Robin
Explain that Dr. King solved problems
using words, not his fists. He stood up
for what was right by giving speeches
and marching with signs. Have each child
write or trace JUSTO on one side of a
sheet of paper and INJUSTO on the other.
Then tape the paper to a pencil. As you
read, children can hold up their signs to
voice their opinions just like Dr. King.
When children are familiar with the text,
try it round-robin style! Seat children in a
circle and assign each an animal: búho,
zorro, conejo, pájaro, comadreja, foca, oso
polar, and cardenal. To make the story
work, each animal reads the page after
the one with its own picture. In other
words, the owl calls the fox, the fox calls
the rabbit, the rabbit calls the bird,
and so on.
Activity: “Tengo un sueño”
Dr. King dreamed that one day all
people would be treated equally. What
dream do children have that would make
the world a better place? Provide paper,
pencils, and crayons and have children
complete this sentence: Tengo un sueño
________. Invite children to draw a picture
to go with their sentence. Bind children’s
work into a class book to commemorate
the holiday.
Discussion: A Leader
Tell students that Dr. King was a leader.
Explain that a leader is someone who is
good at bringing people together to get
important work done. Say that leaders
can be found anywhere. For example,
students can be leaders in the classroom
or in school. Brainstorm what student
leaders do. (siguen las reglas del juego,
no pelean, ayudan a los demás)
• Read the text, explaining that some
animals sleep through winter. Help
children find the animals that hibernate
and those that don’t.
• Create a two-column chart: ¿Te gustaría
dormir todo el invierno? Label one
column Sí, the other No, and write
children’s names down the side. Let
them checkmark their preference!
BI
Activity: Snowy Surprises
Demonstrate the effect of winter
camouflage with this simple activity. In
advance, fill a box or tub with cotton
balls (white packing peanuts will also
work). Then hide a variety of white items
in the box, such as Ping-Pong balls, golf
balls, cotton swabs, some white felt, or
chalk. Also add a few colorful items.
Then have children hunt for the hidden
objects. Which were easier to find, the
white ones or the colorful ones?
Fun facts: Polar Bear’s Fur
The polar bear’s fur isn’t white; it’s
actually clear! Each hair shaft is hollow
in its core. The light shining through it
makes it look white. The polar bear’s
skin, under its fur, is black!
