It’s April 25. 
Today is “World Penguin Day.”  Waddle you do to celebrate these short-legged, flightless birds today?  

 

Trivial Fact of the Day:   The largest species of penguins—the emperor penguin—can weigh up to 90 pounds.  The smallest—the fairy penguin—weighs only 2 pounds!

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Life is a zoo in a jungle.”  --Peter De Vries (American writer)

Vocabulary Word of the Day:  denigrate (verb) – this action word means to belittle or talk down someone else’s opinion of something. How could you directly denigrate a penguin, or how could you denigrate a person who does not think highly of penguins? It might make a great comic strip in your writer’s notebook!

Happy End of STAAR Friday!!
