Animals

If you don't have a zoo near you, or there's no budget or time for your kiddos to visit a real zoo, why not take them on a virtual fieldtrip?  I researched zoo websites to find the best virtual experience for your students and listed 8 of my favorites.  All of them are kid-friendly, many have live animal cams, videos, and games.  All of them contain a plethora of pictures and information suitable for animal reports.

There are several options for this end of the year writing prompt "craftivity."  Students can simply color the cow, cut it out and glue it to the top of their writing prompt, or you can run off the cow parts on construction paper.  Students trim, glue their cow together, add some pizzazz with crayons and then glue it to the top of their writing prompt.

"Hip Hippo Ray! I'm on my way" is a sweet end of the year activity.  Choose whatever pages you want and have the students complete the writing prompts and then glue their booklet to the hippo.  There's also a pattern for "Hip Hippo Ray!  It's graduation day" appropriate for a preschool or kindergarten graduation. Glue on a photo for that finishing touch.
