Zoo Day

To begin the day the children listed to the story Zoo Day Ole! A Counting Book.  This book ehlped us learn to count to ten in Spanish.  Things did not go well at our Zielanis Zoo today.  All of the animals got out.  It was the children's job to count them all and make sure they got back.

 Did you know that a kangaroo can leap 30 feet in one bound?  The children counted how many hops it would take them to travel 30 feet.  For some children it took 21, 18, and even 16 hops. 

Did you know that when a baby giraffe is born it averages 6 feet tall. The children compared their height to a baby giraffe's and recorded their results on a graph.
