The Zoo, Zoo, Zoo!

TGI...weekend, a long one at that!!! My little Kinder-Hoppers have decided that listening and following directions may not be as important as I do. Don't get me wrong, my class is wonderful, and I adore them, but they are needing reminders and reminders and loads of redirection. The "look" isn't working on most of them anymore. This weekend will give me time to put together a plan of action!

I am not sure if I mentioned this...but the referendum that we so desperately need in our school district passed. I work in an amazing place. 80% of the households do not have children in the district and yet it passed with 80%!!! I am extremely optimistic about my job next year, which means...I will never leave :-)

In previous years we had a field trip to the Brookfield Zoo; however, this year we had to cut field trips down to 3, so the zoo has fallen to the side. I debated for quite a bit to add new materials to what I already have but I am just not going to have time. I am adding Insects to May, so I am trying to stay focused on that. I did mention in a previous post that I would add some Zoo stuff. Here is what I have. There isn't much to it, but it was made with love :-).

As always, thank you for reading! I can't believe how close to 300 followers I am...it's amazing! I can't express how much I love to share with you and see all the wonderful things that everyone is sharing out there.

I hope you can find some things that you can use. Enjoy!!!

    Thank you for sharing all you do!! We will start our Zoo Unit in May, ending with a trip to the zoo at the beginning of June. We only have 2 field trips in K, the zoo and a free concert by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra for Tiny Tots! I hope we don't lost any next year!

    I love everything that you post! I have been downloading everything and filing it on my computer to use for next year! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity! =) I was wondering what do you use to create these documents? (Microsoft word?) I would love to try and create some things too but have no idea where to start!
