Life's a Zoo...at least in Kindergarten

It's that time of year again! It came so fast. We turned our classroom into a living museum (it really was more like a zoo!). The kids worked really hard and I was proud of them. Each table was assigned a habitat and then each child got to choose an animal from that habitat to study. They had to memorize three facts about their animal. We invited all of the parents to come in. The kids were frozen in their habitat and when someone would push the button on their costume that said "push", they would come alive and tell their facts. It really was adorable. Here are a few shots that I got.

Here is the Cheetah from the Savannah

The camel in the desert was worried because her ears kept falling off!

My least favorite animal...the Tarantula!

You may not recognize this beast, but he is a very happy anaconda. The tiger is ready behind him!

The gorilla was adorable. Her mom told me that she kept that costume on all night and would repeat her facts to anyone that would listen. It warmed my heart!

Here is the serval in action, reciting her facts to one of our visitors!

The arctic animals were ready and waiting!


The parrot was fantastic! I loved the real feathers!


Here is the scary black panther...


The snowy owl kept getting out of character and ending up in the rain forest.

The shark costume was well done... I just not sure how excited he was to be in it!

Here is the dolphin sharing her knowledge.

I loved the sting ray costume. It really was incredible...and it looked real. For those of you wondering, we also have a humpback whale in the ocean!


Here are the habitats that they created. I love seeing what they come up with. They studied pictures in books to find out what belongs in their habitat.

The Rain Forest

The Desert

The Savannah

The Arctic

And... The Ocean


Most of the parents took their kids home after the presentation was over. A few stayed until the end of the day. We had a few extra minutes for some close-up glamor shots!

How can you not love this face? I would take her home with me in a heartbeat!

He's trying to be cool for the camera!
