Zz Week!

Welcome to our zippy Zz week! 

Circle Time - We tried and tried to think up all the Zz words.  Here is what I came up with for our feely bag:  zebra, zip-loc, zero, zipper, zucchini, and zig zag.

Journal Time - Zz Week - They could write or stamp the word zoo.
 

Our Own Personal Zoo - The kiddos got to choose a zoo animal, then make a habitat/exhibit for it.  So fun!  We chatted about the different animals and what sort of things they would need and would feel comfortable with.  We also talked about their food and how we would need to take care of them.

I cut the side out of Dial soap boxes.  
 

Cash Register - The kiddos were sorting the coins into the cash register.  We had a chat about the coin's worth not matching up with their different sizes.

Snack - Edible Zoo - Yum!  The kiddos used animal crackers, gummy snakes, peanut butter, ritz crackers, graham crackers and candy corn to create mini zoos to eat.  (I was cleaning out the snack drawer, ha!)

Warmish Weather! - Great for chalk drawings but a bit sad for our snow cave!
Mermaids, narwhals and unicorns.

Play Dough Zoo - We dumped out the zoo animals and started creating...

Zip Line - This was oodles of fun!  The kiddos drew a picture of them self and one of a friend or sibling to race the zip lines with.  Ms. Sara taped zip lines (yarn) all over the preschool.  And off they went zipping!  If you find coils of yarn in your kiddo's bag, it's rolled up zip line.

I cut jumbo craft sticks in half and hot glued an open paper clip on the back.  To cut I used an uber cutter, you can find it on Amazon.  It's a fabulous cutter!
