My Project

My young scholars love animals They will be learning about animals from the different continents. The children will practice sorting the animals in various ways. They will learn new vocabulary when they describe each animal.

The children learn best when they have a variety of hands-on materials to explore.

The children will create their own zoo with the different animals. They will use the animals as models to look at when they draw and color. They will practice writing the names of each animal.

My class will be taking a field trip to the zoo near the end of the school year. They will compare which toy animals we have in our classroom with which real-life animals we have at our local zoo. Your donation will help the children to expand their understanding of animals and to make comparisons between pretend and real-life animals.
