Arrange a zoo animal in different places and ask where is it.  Have your child identify where it is.  For example:  place a monkey on the chair.  The child would respond "The monkey is on the chair".  Then move the monkey to a new location.  Try to have them identify:  on top, under, behind, beside, above, below, and in front.

Belonging and Contributing

Zoo keepers work together as a team to keep the animals healthy and happy.  Pick a healthy snack or meal that you could make with your family.  Try to write a list of healthy foods or send me pictures of you helping prepare the meal.  If parents do not feel comfortable with your child helping in the kitchen, they could go through a flyer and cut out healthy food options or help write a grocery list.


Throughout the course of our time exploring in the zoo, you have been asked to watch videos and listen to the experts, now it is time for you to get in front of the camera.  Create a virtual tour of the zoo you made at home.  Tell one fact about each of the animals in your zoo, or you can do a spot light on your favourite animal that you researched.  Share this video with a member of your family to celebrate all that you have learned.
