Zoo Week

 

This week our theme was ‘Zoo’.  We learned about a variety of zoo animals and the children made a giraffe, monkey and a zebra.  The children also created a classroom book about what animals they might see at the zoo.  We worked on putting the numbers in order 1-10 and we used our sense of hearing to play an animal sounds game.

Next week our theme will be ‘Transportation’.  We will work on classification, sorting, identifying the letters in our name, colors and using a glue bottle correctly.  The children will be cutting letters out of magazines in order to make their names.  We will also create a cargo train and use our sense of hearing to play transportation BINGO as we listen to the different sounds vehicles make.  The children will also make a traffic light and learn what each colored light means.  We will even sort transportation pictures, place them on a graph and discuss the results.  On Monday & Tuesday of this week I will be taking the children to the Taylor County Highway Department to explore the various forms of transportation they have!  (Remember to wear old jackets & clothes).
