*****NOTE: I have an AWESOME PENGUIN UNIT that I have posted that goes along with this unit. It focuses on the nonfiction aspect of reading. It includes many graphic organizers, an adorable penguin glyph, and a penguin research paper activity. If you are interested, you can purchase this unit separately or I offer a bundle that includes both the Mr. Popper's Penguin unit and the Penguin Unit at a discounted price.
