In The Jungle

We continued our Jungle theme by learning some important facts about jungle animals. Things like, the biggest python was as long as a school bus and bears eat ants. (People might need to eat ants also to survive.) We also learned that African elephants have the largest ears and tigers can run fast but they get tired easy.

The kids took turns thinking of words that begin with "J" and came up with quite a list. For each word they thought of they got a turn throwing a bean bag at the bear to knock him off his rock. That was harder than it looked but eventually they all knocked the bear off.

We did a maze and helped the snake get to his favorite rock. Sometimes it's easier if the snake can just jump over the walls. And jump begins with "J".

Jungles make a good place for animals to hide. Our snack was hiding too. The kids had fun finding the hiding bears in all that (coconut) grass.

We went outside to play "Catch the Snake by the Tail" but it was more fun running around. The sun was warm but the wind was a little cold still. Bryn and I stayed in the warm sunshine and watched the kids play.
Nebraska really doesn't look anything like a jungle.
