"Colorful Little Penguins" emergent reader freebie!

I'm making the shift in my mind from "Christmas" to "Winter" as I plan for heading back to school in a couple of weeks.  I've been busy creating literacy and math station activities to get us through January.  January can feel like a looooooong, cold, gray month in Michigan, so I wanted to create something that would help us bring some color in!  I am a lover of hot (HOT!) weather, but I'm up for the challenge of making Winter cute and fun!! 

I have a student this year who LOVES penguins, and I was absolutely thinking of her as I created this emergent reader.

PS - Thanks a million for your sweet, encouraging comments on my first-ever post as a teacher-blogger!  You all made my day!  I can't wait to get to know you better!
