Letter Z

Zany letter Z! Because we were close to Christmas when we began Z we didn't spend a whole lot of time with this letter. Also, I think most kids recognize and pick up on this letter pretty fast.

The books we read this week were: Z See it, Say it, Hear it by Kelly Doudna, 1 Zany Zoo by Lori Degman, Always Lots of Heinies at the Zoo by Ayun Halliday, If I Ran a Zoo and On Beyond Zebra both by Dr. Seuss. Going to a Zoo by Rebecca Rissman and At the Zoo by Dana Meachan Rare were also good for basic information regarding zoos.

For our sentences this week we only got in one day. The girls wrote "I went to the zoo." and "Look at the zebra!"

Our Bible verse was Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world.

For our science pictures we looked at zinnia, zebra, zooplankton.

We also made a zebra out of the letter Z. I cut out a white letter z, two triangle ears and a nose. I had the girls glue on the pieces and then they cut the black stripes and glued them on to give their zebras stripes.
