Summer-week 3

Our theme this week was Animals!

This week we were able to do lots of fun things:

-the library had the "Jungle Lady" come and bring various reptiles to show the kids

-we went to the zoo with Aunt Jocie

-went to the new water park in town with Grandpa and Jocie

At home, we also made paper plate snakes

went on a bear (stuffed animal) hunt--and took pictures with our "cameras,"

acted like animals and sang lots of animal songs (5 little monkeys swinging in the tree, Going to the zoo, Sally the camel, Hickory dickory dock, I had a little turtle, BINGO, Old McDonald, 3 monkeys jumping on the bed, 5 little speckled frogs--so many animal songs!),

and we read LOTS of animal books!
