Kinder at the Zoo!

We love learning all about the Zoo! For the past two weeks we have worked hard on our Zoo Animal Research Unit! This is one of my favorite units to teach because the kiddos really love learning all about the different animals! It is also a great way to integrate several science and social studies standards! We started our unit by introducing seven different animals. I love to use National Geographic kids to learn some fun/fast facts about each animal. Then we charted facts for each animal. Each child picked one of the animals we learned about and made an animal research report. The kids LOVED it! Every day they were begging to work on their report. J  I used several pages and ideas from Creekside Teacher Tales! You can find the unit HERE!
