Week 4: Z is for Zoo

Week 4 was all about the letter Z so of course we read the story of Noah and the Ark and by the end of the week Mia acted out the story using her fisher price Noah's Ark set. We also practiced making the letter Z using animals

 And then we used these cut outs to make clothespin animals for our zoo

We also had to make some fun paper plate and toilet paper roll animals. My favorite is the octopus with the big eyes! 

 If we were still in Columbus, I would have taken Mia to the zoo this week. But the zoo here is less then stellar and more expensive then I would like to spend on a subpar zoo (I am kinda a zoo snob!) So we settled for making our own zoo out of legos complete with a watering hole for the alligator and hippo. We had so much fun working together and it brings me such joy to spend those moments with my kiddos.
