The Learning Bin

Rounding out our alphabet and our animal unit with Z Zebras! The class has done a beautiful job with the upper case alphabet. Next we're moving on to the lower case letters. A note on academic impact: after doing these art collages the class has near 100% mastery on naming upper case letters. Only one child continues to need support with upper case letter. Success!

What could be more fun than Yak horns? This fit it wonderfully with our animal unit and we learned some fun fact about yaks. The kiddos were most intrigued by the idea of drinking yak's milk, but unfortunately we don't live in a place where we could get any!

My dye cut machine X wouldn't fit very well on the kiddos own hands, but they got a big kick out of making an X-Ray from my hand. Note for lower case x, you could have the kids draw an outline of their own hand and add the x for bones.

We have watermelon year round here in Sumatra. Snack bags often have red or yellow watermelon in them, and it is a favorite snack of the kiddos. Here are our yummy W Watermelons!
