Zoo

Somedays it feels like a Zoo here but this week, it really is a Zoo!  The children had so much fun talking about all the different animals in a Zoo. 

They picked their favorite zoo animal and made their very own mask so that they could pretend to be that animal.  Some of the classes even played a game where they pretended to move like the different animals that you might see in a zoo.

The children also compared the animals to find things that were the same and things that were different.  For example, they talked about how some have spots while others have stripes.  This gave a great way to practice making patterns with cards that had stripes and spots.

Even during snack one morning, they sorted the animal crackers out.  The 2's then glued them to a scenery to make it look like animals in a zoo!  This was one time that it was okay to play with your food! 

Our letter of the week was "n". The 3 year olds glued things onto an "n" that started with the letter.  The 2's made "n is for net".
