Z is for Zoo

Our next preschool unit is the letter Z.


Peter made a pipe cleaner zoo and a zig zag picture.




He practiced proper letter formation with a handwriting app.


He filled in missing numbers on a number line and learned about many-sided dice.


And then he wanted to make another zoo.


He also read a bunch of early readers.  His reading fluency and stamina are really picking up.
