*****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.

This is one of my all time favorite books to read with children. Thank you for sharing your unit on Mr. Popper's Penguins. It is a fun and imaginative read for children. We all end up wishing we had penguins to care for. How fun this unit will be this year. Thank you!

Is this aligned to Common Core?
August 20, 2012
Nicole Shelby (TpT Seller)
The Common Core Standards are not identified in the book unit, but I designed the unit with the Common Core Standards that I wanted to cover. The unit focuses on these skills from the 4th grade Common Core Standards:
* graphic organizer for using context clues to identify the meanings of unknown words.
* Problem/Solution
* Cause/Effect
* Character Traits
* Making Inferences
* Figurative Language (similes)
In my classroom, I used the Penguin Unit (also available in my store and in a bundled package with the novel unit), to hit more of the Common Core Standards with nonfiction.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Nicole
