Each month, the afternoon preschool class focuses on a specific habitat for their science unit. February we learned about the African Savannah! While we learned about many animals, we had a whole day dedicated to the giraffe!
We started with an art craft- giraffe hats!
For literacy, we got our bodies moving with a Giraffe Letter Recognition Hop!
For Music and movement/ indoor recess, the kids participated in some African Animal Yoga!
We learned that the giraffe has a purple tongue! We tried to make our tongues purple by eating some purple candies!
African animal water play was out for the children during our independent center time.
We strengthened our hands and fine motor skills by making giraffe colored bracelets, cutting play dough and painting with Q-tips!
For math, we measured all different sizes of toy giraffes with unifix cubes
