My Project

These snuggly animals will help complete my learning set (we have been slowly gathering all 26 animals) for our Zoo Phonics program where each animal connects with a sound and action. The students absolutely love these hands-on materials, and often times when beginning to learn won't remember the name of the letter but will connect the name of the animal and the sound together such as Catina Cat says "C". With this interest and engagement of our Zoo Phonics animal friends, comes learning in a hands-on and fun approach to literacy building upon social/emotional elements as well. We will sing the Zoo Phonics animal song while utilizing the animal props in conjunction with moving our bodies for the action sounds of each letter/animal.
