Happy Monday, Happy Homeschooling, and Happy (belated) Mother’s Day!

I was going over the Special Days in January list with my boys and J got excited when he saw that “Penguin Awareness Day” was coming up Jan. 20.  J is my kid who hardly ever gets excited about anything “school”.  I wasn’t planning for a science/research study this week, but his excitement over penguins inspired me to plan a penguin study anyway.  Below are the resources we found to incorporate the topic of penguins over several subjects and for all of our learning levels.  I apologize for the few links that didn’t highlight in blue.  I’m not sure what my technical difficulty is about, but I’m working on getting those fixed.  Until then, you will need to copy and paste those links into your browser search bar.

Wonderful Mr. Rogers Neighborhood episode where he visits with penguins …

Except pretending isn’t necessary, cleaning actually is on the lesson plan for this week (again)!

Happy Monday and Happy Homeschooling!
