Arizona Animals

This week we learned all about animals that live in Arizona.

On Monday we talked about woodpeckers. We made bird feeders to put in our yard. We practiced being woodpeckers and tested what surface around our classroom made the loudest tapping noise.

We also learned about how woodpeckers get their food out of a tree or cactus and tried it ourselves by getting beads out of play-dough.



On Wednesday we read a book called "Cactus Hotel" that talks about a lot of animals that live in or around the saguaro cactus. After we finished, we each made our own cactus hotel.


On Friday for centers we pulled out numbers bowling! Each child draws a card with a number on it and then uses the call to knock that number over.


We also learned about coyotes and roadrunners. We had fun getting outside and practicing running like roadrunners. We also learned how to do a relay race. It's a hard thing to wait your turn and run at the right time!
