DEAR ZOO ( IRENE PALOMINO)

 I HAVE CHOSEN THE STORY "DEAR ZOO"

Firstly, we have worked through the story introducing the animals and characteristics, singing the rhyme and focusing on the rhythm and pronunctiation. We have developed the rhyme with a maracca (as Tracy did with brown bear, brown bear) and different voices, the teacher said the first part and the children answered.
Then, they worked through farm animals classifying zoo and farm ones with labels on the whiteboard.
When they have acquired the rhyme, we have changed the story taking out the diologue and changing it for "Dear Farm". so, they created a new story with farm animals and their characteristics.
We used finger puppets and discussed about their facts.
Example: How is a pig? It is fat, smelly....
Finally, they sang the rhyme with the new text.
