Kindergarten Zoo

Makayla's kindergarten class is learning about animals and their habitats. She came home one day with an invitation for the parents to attend their Zoo day, she was suppose to make a costume from things we had around the house. Makayla was assigned a chimpanzee, so we had fun making a monkey mask together.Than we made more monkey masks...we probably made almost 10 all together, we had to make one for brother and a few friends some. Makayla made the pink one all by herself, without any help from me, except cutting out the eyes. I am so impressed with how great of a job she did!

It was so fun to go to her class and see all the home made costumes! The kids started out by singing songs for us, than we got to go around the room and visit the animals as they stood in their habitats. Each animal had a yellow button you could push and they'd come alive and tell you facts about themselves. After visiting my little chimpanzee and the other animals in her habitat, I walked around the room to learn about the others, I noticed Micah had stayed with Makayla and each time she'd finish her spill he would push her button again and she'd start over. When I made my way around the room and back to her, Micah was still at it, he favored his sisters button, she would finish and than with a push from little brothers fingure she'd start back up with her 3 facts about Chimpanzee's. She was a good sport and did exactly what she was suppose to (some of the animals were "out of order"). Makayla had been so excited for this day to come...it was so fun to be able to go and be a part of it and to see a very crouded room of other supportive parents there, too.
