Frosty the Penguin has arrived in 2R

January 2017 Dear Families, I have been reading aloud from Mr. Popper’s Penguins by Richard Atwater. Yesterday, we received a special package sent from Admiral Drake, all the way from Antarctica.  The children anxiously opened the package and discovered Frosty the penguin was inside! Each child will be bringing Frosty home for one night. The children are expected to write about their adventures with Frosty in our class journal, there are directions inside the journal to follow. The children may want to include Frosty in all of their activities…dance, gymnastics, sports, scouts, or any special family event. Just to let you know, Frosty is not a TV or video game fan, but he does love to be read to. His favorite book is Three Cheers for Tacky, included in the penguin pack bag. Your child will need to protect Frosty and the bag (and contents) from animals and younger siblings. I hope you will join us in sharing the excitement of Frosty. We look forward to reading many parent journal entries, too! I’m sure you will enjoy having Frosty as a houseguest! The children are very excited about bringing him home. Please help your child to remember to return everything to school (protected inside the giant baggie) the next day. A calendar is attached so you’ll know when to expect Frosty at YOUR house (the schedule may change due to an absent child or a snow day). Thanks for your flexibility! I know your child will look back on this experience fondly. Thanks in advance for your time, participation, and support! Enjoy! Mrs. Reagan 
