Penguins are PERFECT for a New Year!

It was a great first week of school in 2012! Mrs. Andis and I enjoyed teaching a lesson on Sean Covey's 3rd Happy Kid Habit--"Put First Things First--Work First, Then Play." It was a great lesson that included a plug for the Porkchop Productions performance next Thursday morning: The Emperor's New Clothes! We discussed the life cycle of the emperor penguin--what a tough critter! Dad takes care of the egg in minus 70 degrees Celsius . . . for four weeks . . . in TOTAL DARKNESS. Mom treks 100 miles away to feed, packing on the pounds so she can relieve Dad, who by this point has lost approximately half his body weight. Try your hand at creating a "PENGUIN" acrostic to share how the emperor penguin exemplifies Happy Kid Habit #3! While supplies last, Mrs. Broam has penguin duckies to share with those would be poets out there in Cougar Land!

Have a great weekend! The weather should be BEAUTIFUL. I have a meeting Monday morning so I'll check in with you all Tuesday!
