Learning about the Zoo

This week we'll be starting our new unit on the Zoo. We'll look at all aspects of the zoo from what we can expect to see during our visit to naming all the animals that we know to learning many new animals to learning what a zoo keeper does. We'll start studying about animals and their habitats and it will be great fun to finish up our unit with the visit to the Columbus Zoo on May 12th. We'll be sending out permission slips for the trip within the next week and please join us for this trip as it's always an enjoyable day with a lot to see! We pack a lunch and spend the whole day there and we'd love for you to join us!

We will move onto the number 11 this week and the letter Ww. We have been enjoying our playground in the afternoons and will continue to go outside to play on good weather days. We will also be playing some fun group games in the gym such as Red Light, Green Light, running races and playing with the parachute.
