The last few weeks with the Eagle class was spent learning
about animals that we would see on a safari.
We learned about elephants, giraffes, rhinos, lions, and zebras. The children worked on their journals,
practicing the letters e, z, and s. We
studied the numbers 9 & 10 and the shape oval as well. We practiced math as we pretended to enter a
natural preserve and count out admission fees.
The children made a lion puppet, an elephant mask, and a zebra picture. We practiced –it words and read the book “Can
It Fit” daily. We searched for items in
a jungle picture and pretended to act like animals. We talked about observing in nature and
picked flowers during a nature walk to press in a flower press.
I’m looking forward to our February themes. We will be covering food and fitness. The letters of the month are j, l, and g, the
numbers are 11 & 12, colors are red and pink and the shape is heart. We will be learning a lot about healthy
eating and getting up and moving!!
These pictures are from when I brought in corn snakes. I was surprised as we shattered sex stereotypes
with each girl fighting to hold the snakes and the boys screaming or dropping
them. They all enjoyed the experience
and learned a lot!
