Toucans

Today we learned many fun facts about toucans. Then the children made one and Ms. Emily made an amazing tree to hang them around.

100th Day

Yesterday was our 100th day of school.

The children were very excited to walk through the "car wash" this morning.

 

 

Then the children had a blast sorting different foods and counting each one to ten. I would like to thank the parents for sending in food for our 100th day snack.

 

Then the children rotated through different activities.

Here the children had to make ten dots in each circle for a total of 100 dots!

Here the children used 100 legos to build

The children made 100 year old portraits.

If I had $100 I would...

 

 

 

Thank You

We want to thank everyone for the beautiful handmade cards, gift card and gift basket. We are really blessed to have such wonderful and supportive parents. Each of your children has such a special place in our hearts. We enjoy watching them learn and grow on a daily basis. Thank you again for thinking of us.

Love,

Ms. Nicole and Ms. Emily

Then Ms. Emily made an adorable tree for the monkeys to hang on to. 

I LOVED the crafts that children made this week and can't for them to do the ones for our jungle unit next week.

Zoo Jobs

They did a great job completing their zoo themed jobs. 

Here are some pictures:

Latter Match- Here the children had to cut out Z, B, and W squares and match them.

Snowman Counting- Here the children had to count the red dots for the snowman's mouth and find the correct number hat.

Zoo Letters- here the children had to pick a zoo letter, find it on their sheet, color the letter, and write the letter.

Zoo Animal Measuring- Here the children had to measure zoo animals and write the number in the box.

Giraffes

Today we learned about giraffes. We learned:

1. Giraffes are the tallest animal in the world.
2. They love to munch on the thorny leaves of the acacia tree.
3. They have excellent vision that gives them a wide view of the grasslands where they live.
4. A giraffe's tongue can be up to 21 inches long and can grab and hold onto objects.
5. Giraffes can go weeks without drinking water. Giraffes get most of the water they need from the plants they eat.
6. Giraffes make noises that cannot be heard by humans.
7. Giraffes have two to four short, blunt horns on their head.
8. No two giraffes have the same pattern of spots.

Then the children did a wonderful job making a giraffe.
