All about animals

February 4th, we had an animal-themed preschool day, since we would be going to the zoo the following Monday. The kids colored wooden monkey puzzles and marble painted zebras.

We practiced recognizing our names by playing "Musical Plates" - dance around until the music stops, then find the plate with your name and sit on it. We also practiced letter sounds; we had the letters A through F on a big poster board and placed animal stickers by their corresponding letters (alligator by A, bear by B, cat by C, etc.).

We also played musical instruments, talked about animal sounds, and read some books.
