Zoo Animals
This was a fun topic. The students loved talking about zoo animals.
It made more sense after we did this activity. "Oh, zoo animals live in cages."

Our preschoolers loved learning about wild animals. I gave them lots of old magazines and they cut out pictures of wild animals. We are really working on our fine motor skills with scissors. While we cut them out they discussed what made animals wild.
I wrote their responses on the chart paper.

How Many Legs?
The 4 year olds thought this was the coolest. We even had pretend animal toys that we actually counting the legs of. They made a game out of it.

Animal Moms and Babies
We began the day by watching this YouTube read aloud. It's a cute Dr. Seuss Book called, "Are You My Mother?". It was a great introduction to our lesson.
After the YouTube read aloud we matched pictures of animal moms and their babies. I showed them a MYSTERY picture of a baby (my ultrasound) and had them guess what it was and who the mom was. They were very surprised to find out I was the mom.
Later in the week we guessed the gender of the baby. We had a few more votes for girl. The class guess was right. MRS. HEMME WILL HAVE A GIRL IN JUNE!
My kiddos were SUPER excited that Mommy was having a girl.
My son said, "Mommy, I want 10 sisters!"
