Lesson Plan: The lesson plan includes all the lessons for the week, as well as optional ideas. Items following the lesson plan are just the printables or links to websites we used to teach these plans. (Please note: On top of our lesson plan we are reading books daily that relate to our theme.)
Memory Verse: This memory card is for daily use during our calendar time. You can learn more about calendar time at 1+1+1=1 or Homeschool Creations. Our weekly devotional is an object lesson that will help your child apply the meaning of the verse to them.
Day 1:
Zoo Beginning Sound Clip Cards- Helps your child to focus in on the beginning letter sounds he/she hears and then to identify which letter makes that sounds.
Zoo Counting- This activity will help your child begin to read, count and model whole numbers 1-10. (This activity was inspired by Confessions of a Homeschooler.)
Day 2:
Zoo Beginning Writing- (Can also be used for cutting practice.)You can use this document over and over again if you laminate it and then have you child write with dry erase markers. (Black dry erase wipes off easier than color ones.)
Zoo Shadow Match– Will help your child work on shape recognition and matching.
Zoo Spelling- This activity will help your child begin to recognize that when letters are combined they form words.

Thank you!
Awesome! As usual! Thanks so much for sharing! I love how well rounded your unit studies are.
Another fantastic lesson!! Thanks for sharing your talents! Kerri
Thank you!!! The animal clip art is so cute. This will go along perfect with your field trip to the zoo this week!
In your spelling unit – isn’t the bird spelled toucan and not ‘tucan’ ?
Oh my goodness! Yes! I fixed it. Thank you for pointing that out. As you can tell, this momma doesn’t always sit with the boy the whole time he is doing the activity. Otherwise I may have caught it.
Wow! What awesome ideas!! I am just putting finishing touches to my “Z is for Zoo” packet. I LOVE your ideas and will definitely link to you!! Thanks a million!
