This medium worksheet, Read and Match: Penguins and Winter Weather, asks second graders to complete nine fill-in-the-blank questions covering skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s, plus sums like 12 snowflakes plus 6 and Amy and Zoe's 7 plus 8 snowflakes. Vocabulary fills cover why penguins waddle, baby penguins called chicks, and what a thermometer measures.
A four-pair matching activity links frost, sleet, flurry, and hail to descriptions like a thin layer of ice and small balls of ice, building counting fluency and winter science vocabulary together.
