Animal Planet!

Hi everyone! This week was Animal Planet Week! Since there are so many animals to talk about, we themed it with a fun story called, "There's An Alligator Under My Bed" by Mercer Mayer. It's such a fun story about a boy who finds an alligator in his room and has to figure out how to get it out of there. Monday, classes got to read the story and talk about their favorite part. Tuesday they talked about an Alligators diet. They then talked about the differences from the story to real life. Another thing that happened on Tuesday was our baby chicks we've been incubating have finally hatched! We have been SO excited for this day and it finally came! A total of seven chicks hatched. We have a few more to go and we cannot wait! Wednesday classes made some "alligator bait". In the story, the little boy went into his kitchen to see what kind of food he could get to lure the alligator out from under his bed. There were sandwiches, pizza, and even spaghetti was made for this activity. One class actually had pictures of all kinds of food for their traps. What a fun week this is turning out to be!
