I had a wonderful morning visiting Zoology at Washington School! The children are so excited and are learning so much. One kindergartener said during a class discussion, ‘We’ve had so much rain, it looks like the wetlands!’

The children are very excited about becoming zoologists!!!! They love walking around the room with their clipboards that they use to diagram animals, take surveys of favorite savanna animals, etc. We really enjoy the pages where we show children how to draw specific animals step by step. We take mini art lesson and they have drawn dogs, pigs, lions, and giraffes thus far. We are impressed in the children’s writing that they are using the power words and spelling them correctlly in their sentences. Also we see the children beginning to spell phonetically…(example a child sounded out tiger and spelled it tigr) We were amazed!! All in all, it is evident that this program touches on the various aspects of our Literacy program.
