Zoo


This week we talked all about zoo animals. We made giraffes, zebras, tigers, and monkeys. We also talked about the letter Zz and the number 5. We loved seeing all of the rhyming posters come back to school. You guys came up with great rhyming pairs! We were able to go on a "warm weather walk" this week and took in some sun and stretched out our legs with a walk around the school property. We even saw deer tracks in the mud!

Next week we will be talking about St. Patrick's Day while making leprechauns, rainbows, and pots of gold. We will be reviewing the letter Qq and number 6.
