🌍 TK Safari News: Our African Adventure Continues! 🐾

Our classroom explorers have officially wrapped up our Congo Basin Rainforest biome—and what a wild journey it’s been! 🌿
We added incredible creations including leopards, a class gorilla, monkeys, peafowl, and even a jeep safari cutout (get ready to spot some familiar faces riding along soon 👀).

But no time to rest in the rainforest… we’ve already begun our next adventure!
🦷 Freshwater Biome (The Nile River!) is underway, starting with some snappy crocodiles.

 

🔤 Literacy Spotlight
We’ve been strengthening our phonemic awareness skills by:

• Identifying beginning, middle, and ending sounds
• Creating and recognizing rhymes
• Practicing adding and deleting beginning sounds in words

Future word wizards in the making! ✨

 

🔢 Math Moments
In math, we:

• Reviewed number formation
• Played a fun dice game to practice early addition 🎲

Math + games = big smiles!

 

🎨 Art & Fine Motor Fun
Our little artists have been very busy:

• Designing and painting leopards, carefully recreating their unique spots 🐆
• Completing directed drawings of monkeys and peafowl (ask your child: which peafowl is called a peacock?)
• Creating vibrant peacock feather art for a class display 🦚
• Using paint sticks to bring a group gorilla project to life 🦍
• Collaborating on a safari jeep, soon to feature student “passengers” 📸

 

🌟 Animal Experts in the Making
We are officially becoming African animal experts—ask your child about their favorite animal and what makes it special!

 

🔜 Coming Up Next…
Our journey continues into the Freshwater Biome of the Nile River, where we’ll explore:
🐊 Crocodiles
🦛 Hippos
🦩 Flamingos
🐟 Goliath tiger fish
🐢 Soft-shelled turtles

 

Wishing all our families a wonderful Easter weekend! 🐣🌷
