If you're planning lessons on polar animals, animal habitats ... or just think penguins are cute ... and need additional resources to integrate literacy work, you can grab this nonfiction poem at the link above.
It's sung to the tune of I'm a Little Teapot and provides factual information about penguins, giving the children a spot to draw what they know based on the text.
The text also provides opportunities to focus on:
• rhyming words
• blends
• digraphs
• high frequency words
• fluency
To extend the learning, show children how to research additional information about penguins and record new facts / illustrations on the back of the page.
And for a little extra fun, try acting out the song ... it can be very engaging to let kids create the movements to accompany the text.
Happy teaching!
