The Zoo!

We loved learning about the zoo! I used Julie Lee and Deanna Jump's zoo unit. I think the zoo animal faces created by Julie are so adorable. The kids loved making them and researching about each animal. The zoo keeper patterns are from my zoo unit.

 

Here are a few of my chit-char messages I wrote.

 

We brainstormed animal adjectives.

The math journal prompts are from Deanna Jump.

Have you started your summer countdown yet? I have!



fun on the farm!

Here is what we have been working on in kindergarten. We just finished up our farm and zoo unit. Here is our double bubble map of would you work on a farm or in the zoo? This idea came from Kim Adsit. The little farmers and zoo keepers are precious! If they wanted to work on a farm and in the zoo they added both a hat and bandanna.

 

At the end of  the unit we graphed our favorite farm animals. We practiced counting by 2's to find out the total.

After we learned about each farm animal we used interactive writing to write about what we learned.

These cute chicks are from Julie Lee's faces on the farm unit. I used them to learn about oviparous animals.

We also illustrated the definition in our science journals.

 

 We compared sheep to pigs. This is from Deanna Jump's fun on the farm unit. The sheep and pigs are also from Julie Lee.
