Today the children made a giraffe position book. On each page there was a sentence that told where the giraffe was; Giraffe is under the sun. After reading the sentence together the children had to glue their giraffe in the correct spot. Next year you will hear a lot about the Wisconsin Common Core Standards. One of the math standards is to explore, recognize and describe shapes and spatial relations. Spatial relations includes the terms under, between, above, and below, all of which were covered in our giraffe book.
At an independent center the children were given the outline of a giraffe and a variety of art media. They used their creativity to add spots to their giraffe. It was fun to see how just like people, each giraffe is different.
Our favorite fact about giraffes that we learned about today is that they have a blue tongue.
