As a culminating activity for our One School, One Book initiative, we celebrated our reading of Mr. Popper’s Penguins with a visit from Ms. Betty the Penguin and her two handlers! Students loved meeting Ms. Betty and learning all about penguins together, it was the perfect way to bring our story to life.
