Zoo Phonics- last week we met our first 2 zoo animals- “allie alligator and bubba bear”.  We discussed the Value Lessons, and we learned the sound and signal (body movement) for each. Students tried to think of words that began like “allie and bubba”…you can try this at home too.  On Friday we had a classroom safari and located our zoo friends!
