My Project

Recently, we read "Tacky the Penguin" by Helen Lester. Our class loved it so much, we are preparing a musical performance of the book for our friends and families. We then learned exciting news: there's an entire series of "Tacky the Penguin" books!

The "Tacky the Penguin" series is a fun and engaging way to teach my students about literacy.

We cannot wait to see what adventures Tacky has in the rest of the series. We are also in need of bulletin board paper. We would love to display projects based on "Tacky the Penguin" on our class bulletin board!
