Animal Cracker Math, Handprint Zoo Animal Art & Counting Books, Oh My!

Our Zoo Theme was full of hands-on learning fun.

There are so many things I wanted to share with you.
Unfortunately, I did not capture all of our fun on film :(

Today, I will share a few fun activities that I managed to capture!

 Handprint Zoo Animal Fun:
I just can't resist a cute handprint craft opportunity!

What You Need:
yellow, brown, black & white paint
thin paint brushes
construction paper
permanent markers
What We Did:

To Make a Handprint Giraffe:


1. Paint entire hand with yellow paint & press firmly to paper




2. Using pinky dipped in brown paint add spots & hooves



3. Add tail, hair & face (we used permanent marker for face)


The Lil Divas Handprint Giraffes:

5 yr. old                           4 yr. old


To Make a Handprint Zebra:

1. paint hand white


2. press firmly onto paper

 

3. using pinky draw tail & add dot of block (hair)


4. using thin paintbrush use black paint to add stripes as desired



4. add some hair and facial features (we used black permanent marker for face)
& behold your adorable handprint zebra!


The Lil Divas Handprint Zebras
5 yr. old                               4 yr. old

A fun activity, cute craft & fabulous keepsake!

At the Zoo - An Easy Reader Conuting Book:
This was a homemade easy reader activity for my soon to be Kindergartener.
The Littlest Diva did it too & she did really well.


I kept it simple going from #1-5 and used a repetitive phrase with sight words and words that she should know. It was fun for her to make her own book and then read it to all of us!

What You Need:
3 sheets of white paper
zoo animal stickers
pencil


What We Did:

I typed out a general template for the book with a title page and then a page for 1-5 zoo animals that said "I can see (fill in number) (fill in animal) at the zoo. I had the numbers pre-done. The Lil Divas choose 5 animals to use in their book and put on the correct number of stickers for each page. I then helped them spell the animal word and they added it to each page accordingly.


Once we were all done with our books -
the Oldest Diva got to read hers to us!

The Littlest Diva needed help but she read quite a bit of it on her own too!

I am so proud of their developing reading!


Here is a full peek at what our books look like:



 Simple, straight forward and a wonderful math, writing & reading activity!

Animal Cracker Math:
We LOVE working with food! The Lil Divas get such a kick out of it.
Animal crackers are a fun manipulative so I decided to do let the Lil Divas do some basic addition with them.



What You Need:
Animal Crackers
dice
dry erase board
dry erase markers

What We Did:

1. I gave each Lil Diva a large foam dice.

2. They rolled the dice and wrote the number on their dry erase board. 
Then they put down the corresponding number of animal crackers.

3. They rolled a 2nd time and added the new number to their dry erase board forming an addition problem by putting the + sign between the numbers. Then they added the corresponding amount of crackers for the 2nd roll and added/counted them all up to determine their total!


4. They wrote down their answer (making sure to include a = sign)
and I checked it before they moved on to a new problem!


They really enjoyed practicing addition with animal crackers &
after we were all done - they got to have a yummy snack! :)

Handwriting Practice - Letter Z
In a previous post I shared that we formed the letter Z with foam and drew it on a ziploc baggie full of paint.

I noticed that the Littlest Diva was having trouble with slant/diagonal lines which you need to be able to do to properly form a letter Z. I found a great printable that her practice slant lines here.



Once she was able to make the slant lines on her own -
we worked on writing the Letter Z.

She is now able to write the Letter Z wonderfully & she makes great slant lines! Can I get a YAY!, for the Littlest Diva! She takes her handwriting so seriously - always competing with Big Sis.



Practicing Measurement & Basic Ruler Skills

Finally, I wanted to share this fun little book I found with you:



This is a thick board book that comes with a ruler attached (stores in a clear plastic pocket attached to the cover.
Each page of the book has something to measure (it tells you what to do in the text).

The Lil Divas LOVED measuring the animals & items in the book!

This was a really cute book that went great with our zoo theme
& provided some extra ruler practice.

Some Other Zoo Books We Read:





I hope you enjoyed what we shared of our Zoo Themed Fun!

  21. While caring for your fellow human beings can be a very rewarding career choice, choosing an animal care course in order to learn how to take care of animals can also have its own merits and rewards. Animals have their own rights and we as humans have the responsibility to see to it that they are respected in society. Overseeing animal rights entails understanding how they behave, and if we are able to do that then we can rest assured that their rights are respected. Animals have their own abilities that they learn through training and those that they have been born with. dog lovers

  24. 数学对于物理学家意味着什么?
    物理代写https://meiguodaixie.com/physics-dai-xie/和哲学本身有多接近,应该说物理本身就是哲学,好的物理学家本身就应该是哲学家。当我们谈到哲学和哲学家时,我们不能忘记康德首先是一位数学物理学教授。物理还有一个堂兄弟,即数学。数学不是我们中文翻译出来的东西,因为它不仅研究数字,还研究形状和逻辑。这应该是聪明人做的事情。数学对物理学家意味着什么? 数学不仅是物理学家的language,也是物理学家思考的工具。physics和数学之间应该有相互作用。physics的表达和思维都离不开数学。但挺多时候,是物理的研究向数学提出了问题; 很多时候,物理学家会亲自解决他们遇到的数学问题。

  25. 如何训练数学的思维?
    其核心是培养数学思维。我们在看书,看视频,练习题目的时候,如果注意如何训练自己对于北美数学代写https://www.academicsaviour.com/shu-xue-dai-xie 的写作思维,就会产生效果。这项训练将培养一种数学思维技能,这种技能跨越数学的所有分支,数学的所有部分。这个技能甚至可以转移到别的领域。如果我们把数学当成一种思维技能,那么为什么数学学得好的人不那么死记硬背就立刻说得通了?就像某一位students,在黑板上出一道积分的题目,我们来出题,我们在那讨论,他站在那30秒钟直接报了个答案。就像某一位students,在黑板上出一道积分的题目,我们来出题,我们在那讨论,他站在那30秒钟直接报了个答案。他就是这种类型的人,他不会记挺多的数学知识,但他却能迅速解题。为什么?因为他们必要时可以推导出来,把公式推导出来,这些知识在他们大脑中是一个有机的记忆,甚至是automation的。
