Going To the Zoo Zoo Zoo How About You You You

This week we went on an adventure to the zoo and boy did we have fun! 
Sadly 4k doesn't actually get to go anywhere for field trips, but that doesn't mean we can't use our imaginations or bring the field trip to us. Thanks to our super awesome smart board we were able to watch some if the animals live in our own zoo and across the country in other zoos. We saw pandas, polar bears, and we tried to see some grizzly bears but they seemed to be asleep 

 I think my favorite thing we learned this week was learning about the people who care for the animals called the Zoo Keeper. We learned all about the super cool and kind if dirty work a zoo keeper has to do when we watched a video about a day at work with a zoo keeper. The zookeeper got to feed he animals, wash the animals, and clean up after the animals (yuck!) after watching our video everyone made their own zookeeper to watch over the animals we would be making throughout the week. 


We made some zoo animals to make sure our zoo keepers had someone to take care if. 

Now that we are halfway through the year we are working in really preparing for kindergarten and mastering the skills we will need to be successful so you may see a few of the same skills over and over again because they are a little more difficult and need a little more time and focus. 

For jobs this week  we made a Zebra Z

We worked on counting and writing the number in each set of zoo animals 1-10

And we worked on measuring and number writing. 

I not only want my babies to be able to identify and write  their letters, but I want them to be able to identify and write the numbers 1-10 and higher. We are focusing on working on each individual child's skill level so differentiated instruction is a huge key to or teaching process. 

I am so super proud of all of my babies and how far they have already come and I look forward to seeing where we go from here.
