Watch Them Grow: Z is for Zoo

We did Z is for Zoo - I had some fun ideas planed but it was a hard week!

I got a case of Cabin Fever (an alaska term for being shut in, cold, and depressed) and lost some motivation for the week of 11/14 - 11/18.

I think it was average (-35 to -40 all week)

We did not get much done this week but here is how it looked.

I got all of the Zoo printables from 2 Teaching Mommies - Zoo

Morning time with the Boys:

As always - first you see him - then you don't. - Curious was really into his tot bins this week.

He did return to take a cute pic.

J.B. sharing nicely with Curious - Showing his Zz - yellow was our color this week.

J.B. would make the Z sound ever time curious made a dot - Curious found this pretty funny!!!

Jumping Bean and Curious working on their pom pom magnets.

1st time Curious was intentional about getting the pompoms in/on the circle!!!

Good Job!!

J.B. made a resting area for his horse then decided to read to them. - When Curious woke up from his nap he joined in.

I am so glad they like their books!

Working on our Heads -N- Tails Zoo animal puzzles. J.B. is making the sound of a lion - fierce!

In classic Curious style - interested for 1 sec and gone the next! - (LOL)

One to One with Jumping Bean:

J.B. pasting pics that start with Z for our letter page.

J.B. is coloring a Zoo book - Each animal had to be colored a certain color.

Later in the week - he cut it out and turned it into a book.

Different Z hand writing practice.

These were all Zoo animals - J.B. had to look at the animal tell me what letter it started with and then clip a close-pin on the correct letter. (example Z says Zebra)

I picked this up in some $1 bin - They are little animals that grow in water.

I thought it looked like Zoo Animals.

Jumping Bean decided to sort the colors.

Here J.B. is sorting out which Zoo Animals eat Plants and which ones eat Meat.

Here is what we came up with - There are probably some that fall in the middle - Oh well

This was fun - we worked on some graphing. J.B. rolled the Zoo dice 10 times and graphed how many times he rolled that animal. I color coded the bottom so that each animal had a Do-A-Dot color.

J.B. rolled each animal once

The Monkey came in with the most rolls - 3

Then came the Giraffe, and Rhino with 2
