It is a zoo!!

Snow, snow go away!!!
Is it spring yet? We all can NOT wait to get outside!! It has been very chilly out, and we have not been able to be outside at all. I can only hope that it gets (and stays) warm soon. We can only do so many "exercises" inside to get energy used up!

Lately it has been a zoo around here! We have been learning about so many animals that live in zoos and making so many animal crafts that we have plenty of animals to go around! We have covered bears (all kinds), tigers, lions (my kids can tell you if a lion is a boy or a girl!), elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, & sloths. We have read many books, but the kids also love watching the short video clips and looking at pictures of the animals on the National Geographic Kids website. It is just great! After a short clip is done, one of our kids always says "more animals please?"! Thankfully there are many animals on their website! When covering giraffes, we were lucky enough to have a large giraffe join us for the day! The kids loved to pet and hug it! I will add a picture or two soon. To finish out the week we will be talking about penguins, rhinos, koalas, & kangaroos.

Next week we look forward to celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday and having a week on rhyming! Oh the places we will go! =)
