Summer Learning - Rising First Graders- My Very Own Zoo

Summer slide is REAL!

Use this resource to keep those rising first graders (end of kindergarten) learners learning! I designed this for our school a few years ago and my personal babies were able to complete it. It was a wonderful experience for us all. Those worksheets are nice but the application is so much more meaningful.

What's included:

- explanation of why

- standards (aligned to Alabama BUT standards are standards- right?!)

- parent letters

- incentives for completion

- extra ideas

- book ideas

- purchasing the zoo animals

- animal habitat design

- new exhibit design

- feeding schedule design

- community helper - hire your zookeepers

- straw problems - reduce, reuse, recycle

- weather prep - keep animals safe

- t-shirt design

- certificate of completion

MORE TO COME!

When I designed this for our school, we had a project for each grade level so that a child would not complete the same project while in their elementary school career. The ones below will be finished soon!

Rising 2nd graders - My Very Own Treehouse

Rising 3rd graders - My Very Own Dinosaur Park

Rising 4th graders - My Very Own Restaurant

Rising 5th graders - My Very Own Water Park

Check back soon!

ENJOY!
