We're going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo... How about you, you you?

We had a wonderful trip to the Zoo! The monkeys had a great day and really enjoyed completing their scavenger hunt at the zoo! We also really enjoyed our class "Feathers and Fur" where we learned about birds and mammals. We got to pet two birds and two mammals. They got to pet a Bantam hen, a Screetch owl, a Chinchilla and a hedgehog! It was a great day of learning and fun!

Plants and Rabbits!

These monkeys were sure excited about our egg hunt! The entire week they asked "Is today the egg hunt?" We spent the first part of the week learning about plants. We dissected Lima bean seeds and observed them with magnifying glasses. We tried to plant some but our windows just didn't get enough sun with all the cloudy rainy days and the overhang outside our room! We made some plants instead and labeled all the parts! The second part of the week we started talking about Rabbits! We heard the Tale of peter Rabbit and made a peter rabbit art project to follow up with! The egg hunt at the end of the week was the highlight! Our wonderful families sent in lots and lots of treat filled eggs!  I numbered them all so the monkeys would have to find a set off eggs numbered 1-21! They loved using their record sheet to check which numbers they had and still needed! 12 and 21 got us slightly confused.. but we ended up with enough eggs!
