Week of 5/20

Dear Garden Room Parents,
 
Below is an update on the many fun activities that we were engaged in this week as we learned about zoo animals!!!
 
 
Books we read:

• Animals Strike At The Zoo, by Karma Wilson.
• Put Me in the Zoo, by Robert Lopshire.
• Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr. Eric Carle.

 
Activities with Specialists:
 

• In Music with Noel, we sang On Top Of Spaghetti and Take Me Out to the Ballgame.
• In Movement with Lindsay we pretended we were at the beach, we surfed, we swam, and danced to ‘Baby Shark’.
• In Library with Lindsay, we read Curios George Visits the Zoo, by Margret & H.A. Rey's.
• In Art we made beautiful pictures using different shaped stampers with glitter paint, and we played in the sand at the light table. 

 
Classroom Activities:
 

• We did the Dinosaur March around the classroom and we went on a Bear Hunt in the gym.
• We played Zoo Bingo, seeing how many animals we could match on our card.
• We created a colorful spotted leopard using yellow paint and pom poms, like the one in the book Put Me in the Zoo.

 
Highlight: Going to the Central Park Zoo with our teachers and friends!!
 
Theme: ZOO ANIMALS
 
 
SONG:  GOING TO THE ZOO
 
Going to the Zoo
 
We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo
 
See all the monkeys they're scritch-scritch scratchin'
Jumpin' around and scritch-scritch scratchin'
Hangin' by the long-tail (huff huff huff)
And we can stay all day
 
Well the seals in the pool all honk-honk-honkin'
Catchin' the fish and honk-honk-honkin'
Little tiny seals all honk-honk-honkin'
And we can stay all day
