5-12: zoo theme

Continuing our exploration of the letter Y!

This is the book we read today.   We also read the book, Extra Yarn. 

Look at those cute faces!

We made a yarn Y. 

The kids did a great job!

We discussed patterns in circle time and then used it in centers.  

The yellow playdough was such a big hit that we brought it out again.  

In II we did a worksheet and made handprint I's.  Some of them didn't get the worksheet done so I sent it home.  

So cute!  I absolutely love handprint crafts.  

5-10: zoo animals

Y is for Yellow Yak!  

I can't believe that the end of the year is almost here.  Today we learned all about yellow yaks!  We practiced our songs, played, and had a wonderful time together!

This is the new song we learned today. 

This has a cute story about a yellow yak. 

This was our morning board today.  

This was our craft.  

Thanks for snack Kynslee!

They are so cute!  They each named their Yak.  

We practiced writing our Y's.  

Then we played with yellow playdough.  

Then upstairs to centers.  

We made elephant masks! 

See you next time!

5-5: zoo theme (Mother's Day)

We had such a fun day making Mothers Day surprises.  I didn't get many pictures because we were so busy but they worked hard and were so excited to celebrate their moms.  I loved asking them questions about each mom.  I got some funny answers.  Your kids are so cute!

5-3: zoo theme

Wonderful extended day today.  Z is for zoo, zebra.  Color is black, shape was a square. 

After circle and singing time we made a zoo craft.  These square plates worked perfectly.  

They colored the animals and cut them out.  Then they pasted the animals on the plates.  

Then they strung the yarn through the holes and made a cage for their animals.  

We decided to have our snack at the park today.  It was lovely.  We also read a wonderful counting zoo animal book by Eric Carle.  

It was so cute to see them chatting together on the hillside.  They are all such good friends!

After we got back we had centers.  They are all animal themed.  

They are adorable!

We worked on writing our Z's.  

We had lunch at the picnic table outside. 

Roman was home by then so he joined us.  

They did really well and everyone ate their lunch. 

We made Z sugar cookies and frosted them.  

Then more centers.  In individual instruction they painted stripes on a Z shape. 

It was a full day of Zoo fun.  :)
