Greetings Azure Parents,

January ushered in some chilly days. As a nod to the weather, our curriculum has taken on an Arctic theme. Peppered around the classroom are orcas, beluga whales, polar bears, narwhals and penguins galore!

Penny the Penguin

Is your toddler as tall as a penguin? This is our life-sized emperor penguin, Penny. Just like the emperor penguin, Penny stands nearly four feet tall. It has become an annual classroom tradition to take photos with her. See how your child measures up alongside Penny.

The Penguin Song

Five little penguins swam the ocean floor

One saw a whale, then there were four

Four little penguins spun around “wheee!”

One spun away, then there were three

Three little penguins with nothing to do

One went fishing, then there were two

Two little penguins having lots of fun

One fell off, then there was one

One little penguin, when the day was done

He went home, then there were none.

Warm regards,

Alexis, Liz and Cherise
