Waterfall Class welcome to our new unit- People and animals help each other in many ways! Waterfall students will learn to show compassion for the world around them and all creatures big and small. There are animals all around if you know where to look! They played with some animal puzzles, flew paper cranes in Rhythmic, and sang and danced to “Walking in the Jungle” to inspire them to inquire about lots of animals.

The LOI 1 students are learning that There are many animals. This week students looked at several animals and thought about whether they live in the water, sky or on land. They even noticed that it is snowy where the polar bears live. They explored the land animals to start of this unit are learning to say- “It’s a tiger. It’s on land.” After students thought about what kind of animals they saw and where each one might live, they placed each animal on the land on the UOI wall.

Waterfall students made cute animal finger puppets to dance with while they sing “Walking in the Jungle.” They can also use the puppets to become risk-takers and role-play as a monkeys, frogs, toucans, tigers and more! We asked- Which animal do you like? – Monkey, please!  Students got to choose the animals that they wanted to color.

So much walking in the jungle heat means that Waterfall needs to cool off! The pool and sprinklers are perfect for the hot summer days! All tired out from busy days, Waterfall students sang a Tanabata song under their wishes-sweet dreams for all!
