| Our FUN with wild animals began with this story, "Dear Zoo". We watched this version on YouTube. It's very interactive and the kids loved it. After watching the read aloud we discussed which animals would make good pets and which would not. Their answers were very interesting. "My Mom would NOT want a lion in the house." -DeShawn "A giraffe is too tall to be in my house. It would break the roof" -Elena | |
The students sorted all by themselves. They didn't need much help at all.

This is one of my favorite Eric Carle books. It goes great with our animal theme. The PM class practiced identifying their body parts and moving them like the animals in the story.
We made our very own class book. This turned out so cute.
The kids had a blast doing it too.

| "Zoo Looking," is a great story for basic zoo knowledge. What animals are at the zoo? What do they look like? The students were able to pick their favorite after we read the story. |  |
We have quite the little artists.

Zoo BINGO- We ended our wild animal week by playing BINGO! The students really had to use their listening skills and follow directions in order to eat their cereal. I have several tricks up my sleeve.
