My Kind of Friend/Tacky the Penguin

On the classroom site you will see two attachments created in PDF. One is based on the story of Tacky the Penguin and one is based on your student. We discussed in class today Tacky and the qualities we look for in a good friend. (Please see the previous post for the assignment to help with Tacky the Penguin)

Tacky:
1.Cut out the penguin along the solid lines.
2.Fold wings as indicated.
3.On the outside of the folded wings, have students write words or phrases that describe Tacky’s outward appearance and behavior.
4.Instruct the students to open up the wings and on Tacky’s belly, list Tacky’s qualities that are discovered when the hunters arrive.

My Kind of Friend:
Have your child brainstorm as many words as they can that describe the characteristics they like in friends and write them inside their person. Encourage your child to think of as many words as they can. Write them down on their person and send that in with the story of Tacky.
