A Sweet & Sour Letter Zz Week

Sweet because it was my last week to teach preschool and Sour because it was my last week to teach preschool! These kids have been so much fun and I am so happy that we did this. We will always look back on the preschool years and the fun memories with the neighborhood kids!

On Monday our agenda was very busy and didn't get to everything planned, but got the important things done at least. We started out reading stories about Zoo animals and the role of the zookeeper. After our dicussions we got right to work with our Zz books. We cut out pictures that started with the letter Zz and then wrote the words on the bottom.

Then it was time to get the wiggles out so we went to the basement and had relay races with lots of Zig Zags! Our snack of Zucchini bread was a hit and they kept asking for seconds!! We made Zebra's and finished with a quick play of Zookeeper.

On Wednesday I decided to make it a little more fun since I crammed all of the "work" into them on Monday. They came with their favorite blankets and we actually had an extra friend to add to the group...Landen Harper joined in on the fun and he meshed right in. They snuggled in to their blankets and I read them more zoo animal books. We took turns rhyming and then put together words from the syllabals that I said...like "wa ter mel on" is watermelon.

We had a great time watching Madagascar to go along with our Zoo theme. Popcorn kept them quiet for awhile and then the wild animals became alive! We made letter Zz's with our bodies and then finished our day off playing with playdough making zoo animals. They are all very creative! When it was time for the mom's to come pick them up they decided to pretend like they were sleeping to fool you all:) It was so funny to watch them practice and get so excited for the next car to drive up!

Thanks for a great pre-school year everyone!
