Everyday in some way, whether we realize it or not, little minds are making connections. When I taught school, we always had a "theme of study". All throughout that week, or sometimes month, we would study, do art projects, read, and hopefully have some real life experiences with what we just learned so much about.
So, even though we hadn't planned a big "unit" of study or art projects, I picked up some zoo books to prepare us for our trip to the zoo later in the week.
Taking a picture of the zookeeper in action!
We loved looking at the family of baboons. We even heard the Mom call them, and they all came running! So fun!
make it easy: Talk about the days of the week and make a countdown to something you are looking forward to! Ask questions about the trip...before, during and after.
make it hard: Draw a picture or write a sentence about your favorite animal. Was it what you expected?
