Zoo

This week our theme was the ‘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. We reviewed the number 10 and our letter for the week was Zz.

Next week our theme will be ‘Transportation’.  We will work on classification, sorting, identifying the letters in our name, colors, graphing and rhyming.  The children will be finding and cutting letters out of magazines in order to make their names.  They will also create a cargo train and use their sense of hearing to play transportation BINGO.  The children will also make a traffic light and learn what each colored light means.  We will even sort transportation pictures, placing them on a graph and discussing the results.  Our letter for the week will be Uu; which completes our study of the alphabet.  On Wednesday & Thursday of this week I will be taking the children to the Taylor County Highway Department to explore the various forms of transportation they have available there.  (Remember to wear old jackets & clothes so you can climb around and have fun)!
