Pebble Go and other Digital Resources for Penguins


I absolutely love Pebble nonfiction books! They have fabulous nonfiction books that are perfect for K-1 readers.  They are available for many of the topics covered in the primary grades.  These are just a few that our school library has on penguins.  
Penguins (Polar Animals- Pebble)Penguins and Their Chicks (Pebble Plus)Baby Penguin Story (Pebble Plus: Baby Animals)
Pebble Go is a subscription service, but our district is considering purchasing a subscription so I have access to a trial login.  If you don't already have Pebble Go at your school, you should check with your local public library.  There are lots of public libraries that have subscriptions.  


In fact, public libraries can be an amazing resource for subscription services.  TumbleBooks is available through my public library.


We will be using several Pebble Go digital books on penguins in the coming weeks.

These are subscription services, but you can sign up for a free trial if you are interested:

Penguins on Brain Pop (free trial is only 5 days,
 so don't sign up until your ready to use it!)


A Penguin Story on TumbleBooks (not sure how long the free trial lasts, 
but check with your public library to see if they have a subscription)


And of course there is a wealth of streaming resources on Discovery Education!
I hope you find something that you can use in your classroom!  I would love to hear what digital resources  you use in your classroom.
