Tacky the Penguin - Movement
Tacky the Penguin was one of my absolute favorite books growing up. It tells the story of a penguin named Tacky who was different from the rest of the penguins. He didn't talk or sing beautifully like the rest of them. He didn't dive gracefully or march like the rest of them. But one day, hunters came along to hunt the penguins. And while the rest of the penguins hid, Tacky fearlessly stood up to them, confusing them with the way he moved and sang; that wasn't the way they thought the penguins they were hunting acted! So the hunters left and Tacky saved himself and his companions! Not only is it a fun story with a nice message, but it also has wonderful unique characters students can enjoy exploring. For these last few weeks I'll be visiting my first grade classroom, we're going to be working with this book, Tacky the Penguin, in order to prepare for a small performance we'll do for another class in the school. How the performance will end up will depend on
