On Wednesday MiKayla had the kids make rhinoceros puppets.
I can't remember what Alex was doing here. 
We used our puppets to put on a show.
Today MyKayla taught the kids some facts about hippos. 
Jennifer did a counting game with celery sticks then the kids dipped them in peanut butter and ate them. 
We painted wind socks. 

Kylee had the children trace the word "hippopotamus".

Hailey measured how wide a hippo can open its mouth, then measured the kids to see who would fit inside!

We colored with sidewalk chalk. 
We fished for hippos with a net and counted them. 
We played Pin the Tooth on the Hippo.
