On Day 1 the preschool kids dressed up as zany as they could. Zany Crazy Dress-Up day was super fun, especially Eisley, who wore 2 kinds of shoes! The kids are very serious during the pledge of Allegiance. We also read the story of Zacchaeus where the kids learned how Zacchaeus was humbled that Jesus wanted to come to his house even though he wasn't very kind.
During Craft time, the kids got to create Zebras! They had to follow directions and glue on many pieces. They struggled at first putting the correct pieces in place, but eventually they got the hang of it! Addison did a great job gluing the pieces together, you can tell that she does craft time, a lot!
Look at these cute Zebras!
Before we went outside, we talked about being Zookeepers! The kids answered questions about what zookeepers do, by keeping the cages clean, feeding the animals and getting them water. We even talked about what types of food the zoo animals like to eat. Did you know that hippos like melon?!
We also read this darling book, Put Me in the Zoo, to get the kids prepared to be zookeepers!
Look at Eisley and Noah concentrate while they paint their Z. Great job kids!
Addison and Annabelle had fun too, they enjoyed blending the colors!
My zookeepers went outside and had to gather the animals. Then they had to put food and water in the cages and take care of the animals.
DAY 2 OF THE ZOO!
Zoo Alert: The animals have escaped from the zoo. THe kids were in charge of finding them and putting them back in their cages. But we need to create binoculars first. The kids painted two toilet paper rolls and attached them with a string.
Jack enjoyed painting the inside of his binoculars too!
They turned out pretty cute! These zookeepers are ready to find those animals!
Show and Tell was my favorite part of the day. We have been doing this for a while, but I have never been able to see the kids share. It was so cute to watch each of them describe their toy. The kids sat so well and asked questions about what they brought! Darling!
Eisley brought Filmore, from the movie Cars and shared that she loved the colors on the car.
Annabelle brought Rapunzel and all her money. Rapunzel joined the family when they went to Disneyland!
Addison brought her mermaid dolls, these are her favorite toys, that travel everywhere with her....even without their clothes on!
Noah shared about his car with a big engine.
Pete the Cat joined us! Jack couldn't wait to share about Pete the Cat and where he sleeps at night, right by his bed!
Ziggy's Blue Ribbon Day was perfect for Z week! Ziggy didn't want to participate but he had to learn to make the best of what he was asked to do. Perfect for preschool kids!
The kids practiced writing the letter z and other words such as zebra, zoo, and zipper. They are really doing a great job holding the pencil.
Finally we worked on patterns with fruit loops. We talked about that a pattern can include two, three, or more different colors. The kids worked hard placing the patterns on their sticks....and yes, they got to eat them too!
