What is a zebra? Let\u2019s find out with this video https:\/\/m.youtube.com\/watch?v=kWxnadQI5Qw<\/a>. We can now review the various characteristics (Mammal, herbivore, have babies, black skin, …..). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s 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.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201chow we feel?, would we be different?, would other zebras accept us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a little zebra black and white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a bushy mane running down my back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to gallop, run and play,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second little zebra said, \u201cHey, wait for me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third little zebra said, \u201cI\u2019m coming too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fourth little zebra cried, \u201cBoo, hoo, hoo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
