Zoo Week

The monkey friends all worked together to marble paint zebras!  This took a lot of great team work!

Playing a fun zoo matching game!

After pretending to ride the train at the zoo, we made our own binoculars to help us see the animals at the zoo!

Doing a craft that goes along with the book Put Me in the Zoo!

Practicing letter writing!  Our letter of the week was "Zz"

Playing an animal action game outside on a beautiful day!  We had to run fast like a cheetah, jump like a kangaroo, walk like a bear, swing our trunk like an elephant....

We went on a hunt around the classroom finding animals that were lost and couldn't find their way back home!  We had to use the binoculars to find the missing animals and help them back home to the farm or the zoo!  The kiddos did a great job sorting the farm and zoo animals!

Butterflies Week

We learned about the life cycle of a butterfly and worked on our fine motor skills while cutting out pictures of each stage of the life cycle and putting them in order!

We learned that the word "symmetry" means "the same."  We used symmetry to make the other side of the butterfly the same by placing the same shapes on both sides of the butterfly!

After talking about symmetry at circle time, during activity time we folded a butterfly in half and painted a design on it's wing.  Next, we folded it in half again so now both sides of the wings are the same...have symmetry!

Practicing letter writing!  The letter of the week was "Ii."

Coloring flowers!

After coloring the flowers, we attached a straw to the flower and drank juice....just like a butterfly drinking nectar!!
