This is the first year that we have planned not to take our Kindergarten students to the zoo. Every year it seems like we battle with the weather and it's so unpredictable that it was easier to go with an indoor field trip this year and not have to worry about rescheduling. I'm really looking forward to our new destination (a science and discovery center), but I will definitely miss the zoo. However, we were lucky enough to still get to teach a unit on zoo animals!

I have a created a few resources to go along with ELA and Math that still incorporate zoo animals into Shared Reading and Math Work Stations. Be sure to check them out in the next few days while they are on sale! Click on the pictures below to take you to my TpT store. They would also go great with my zoo animal hundreds charts like the lion and monkey!

I have enjoyed every last minute of the last two snow days!!! We should schedule these in the middle of winter more often! :) Yesterday was all play, so today I got busy working on several hundreds charts that have popped into my mind lately! If you have any suggestions for new charts, I would love to hear them!  Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom to download a freebie! :)

I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but I wanted to take the chance to update everyone with some of the newest hundreds chart hidden picture activities I have available in my TpT store. I have a few more that I'm currently working on for upcoming themes. I hope you like the charts below!

I was just reading Deanna Jump's post about using Pebble Plus Books for teaching her Zoo Animals unit and thought they looked familiar. We have several of the habitat and homes Pebble Plus books in our school library and I love them!

So, I headed over to Amazon to check out the zoo animal titles and I was able to get 4 books for the price of 3. The books in the widget above qualify for this deal. (If you are reading this in a reader, you will have to click over to the actual post to see the widget.) The books ship free with Amazon Prime memberships, as well. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else needs a few extra resources for the end of the year. :) I bought Elephants, Zebras, Lions and Giraffes for $20.85. 

If you've never signed up for Amazon Mom or another free paid shipping service through Amazon, you can sign up and receive several benefits, but one of the best is free Two Day Prime shipping for 3 months. If you aren't sure, see if you qualify. It's definitely worth it!
