For our end of the year field trip this year, we took our kids to the zoo. Earlier in the week we asked each child which animal they wanted to see the most, and then made masks with paper plates, construction paper, and yarn of each child's animal so that they could wear them at the zoo. I used construction paper and 3 patterns stapled together. Each child has a tree book pattern.
Children then make thumbprints on their tree to match the numbers on each page.
After all of the thumbprints are made, the children should add arms, legs, tails, and heads. When finished children add each verse to the trunk of each corresponding page. Five Monkeys in a Tree Read book. As a math activity choose 5 children to be the monkeys. When finished, children fold green paper like a taco.
