Today my K-2nd grade class drew and painted these precious penguins.  This seemed a fitting subject for this cold icy day.  We started out by discussing how to draw penguins using lightly drawn circles and ovals to create the shape and then connecting those shapes to form the penguin’s body.  We looked at how changing the placement of the beak and wings changes the position of the penguin.  After they were done drawing, we painted our penguins with tempera paint.  They mixed their own icy background colors.  If you look closely, you will see a couple of penguin astronauts.  : )
