What is a zebra? Let’s find out with this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kWxnadQI5Qw. We can now review the various characteristics (Mammal, herbivore, have babies, black skin, …..).

Science

Let’s start playing Lion or a Lamb Game. We know that lions live in the grasslands of Africa and lambs live on a farm. Name other animals like a zebra or a goat. If the animal named would live with a lion, prompt your child to roar, and if it would live with a lamb, have your child baa. Continue with other animals.

If your child has a journal, you can draw a table divided into 2 with lion on one side a lamb on the other. Write animal names in the proper column with the help of your child.

What If the Zebras Lost Their Stripes? by John Reitano read by Dr. Deidra. At the end of the video , https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PTCdxUtT6TE , there is a writing component that older siblings can do.

This easy rhyming book explores the issue of race and ethnic diversity. It invites children to explore their own self and to extend compassion toward others.

After viewing the story, try to engage your child to pretend you were a family of zebras that lost its stripes and ask questions about “how we feel?, would we be different?, would other zebras accept us?

Zebra Song (Tune of “I’m a little teapot”)

I’m a little zebra black and white.

With a bushy mane running down my back.

I like to gallop, run and play,

Out of the African plains all day!

Four Little Zebras Fingerplay

Four little zebras on the African plain,

Four Little zebras see it’s starting to rain.

The first little zebra went to stand beneath a tree.

The second little zebra said, “Hey, wait for me!”

The third little zebra said, “I’m coming too!”

The fourth little zebra cried, “Boo, hoo, hoo!”

Then a passing hyena laughed, “Hee, hee, hee!”

That rain won’t hurt you, I guarantee!”

Math

June is a new month and your child needs a new calendar. Print this calendar set https://www.themailbox.com/magazines/june-calendar-setbr4-pages/june-calendar-set and have your child choose a pattern to follow for the new month.

Let’s use Lego blocks to practice counting, creating patterns, looking for similarities (size and colors), grouping in relative size orders and even problem-solving.
