Its a zoo in here...

We have switched themes to rain forest/jungle/zoo. We will be exploring many types of animals that will be found in the wild :)
We will continue to learn 3 more letters, working with numbers (more with the teens), lots of new animals, living vs non living, and sorting by size.
Dramatic play allows us to explore a jungle, and turn into an animal doctor to help when animals are hurt. The waterfall in the jungle allows the children to explore washing animals within the sensory table.
3 new great stories will occur during the zoo theme. Dear Zoo-we will get a new animal each day from the zoo connecting to the book, and writing to the zoo to send us an animal as well for a writing opportunity in our journals.  Bark George will allow us to explore with many different animal sounds, and how to be a vet. The pigeon wants a puppy (one of our favorite characters) and yet another writing experience for another animal the pigeon could want.
