These are some of the activities we completed during our Zoo Unit:
Our classroom bulletin board in the hallway sported a Missouri University chant, animals we created for craft time, and an animal cracker counting
graph we completed during a Math lesson.
It was important to consider how we would be able to graph the crackers during this Math lesson. Most all children love to eat crackers....so we scanned the crackers and several copies of each animal. In doing this, the students were able to select a cracker from a bag, discover which animal it was, graph a copied image, and still get to eat the cracker! Success!
A great Math printable from 2 Teaching Mommies:
Another great sensory idea for this unit - plastic Easter grass and various animal toys. We had a combination of plastic, rubber, and stuffed toys for the students to use at this center.
These peel and stick foam masks were great fun, both to make and to wear! We especially enjoyed watching them look at themselves in the mirror while wearing the masks!
The same company made some fun foam visors too!
We couldn't complete our unit with out singing, "Five Little Monkeys" - like ten times =)!
The students created finger puppets to accompany the song!
