Welcome To The Jungle

Now that we have learned all about animals that we can see in our zoo we wanted to learn where many of these animals come from. We already learned that Panda bears live in the jungles of China and many of the other animals we can see in the zoo like tigers and monkeys also live in the jungle.

This week we learned all about the different layers of the jungle and some of the beautiful yet poisonous plants and animals that live there. Did you know there is a plant that eats bugs and the jungle is home to another flower the size of a large dog and it smells like rotten meat?!?!

After learning about the different parts if the jungle everyone got to test their knowledge by creating and correctly labeling their own jungle. All of my friends did an awesome job matching the words on the board to their labels and placing them in the correct position on their jungles.

We created jungle explorers to help us on our adventure. 

We worked on our fine motor skills by tearing paper with our fingertips to create some beautiful jungle flowers. 

 We welcomed some beautiful jungle parrots into the classroom. 

For jobs this week we created Jaguar J's

Jellyfish j's

We worked on a new skill of adding 2 sets of numbers/dots together and counting on after finishing one set and adding in a second. My friends each rolled two dice and added the dots together then colored in the circles containing the combined amount. 

Last but not least we worked on a little something special for the upcoming grandparents day next Friday. 

Everyone please pray that is warms up this next week so we can get some fresh air and get out of this stinky ole classroom!! Thankfully we have a few fun events coming up next week to help make staying inside a little more fun!!
