We have embraced some wildness this week as the children continue to explore animals we see at the zoo!
On Tuesday, we used crayons and colored pencils to draw pictures of our own animals.
"It's a monkey and a stomach ache!"
We also worked on some counting and numeracy skills by putting bears in caves. Ms. Krysti asked each child to put a certain number of bears in each cave, and then we recounted how many bears were in each.
Today, we learned that animals are sometimes artists too. We looked at a picture of a monkey who makes paintings. The children pointed out that the monkey was using its hands to paint, and some decided to paint like the monkey!
Some friends really wanted to try the finger-paint, but were not thrilled once they touched the paint. We encouraged them to keep trying but cleaned them up if they really were finished.
