Ms. Mercer's Class Zips

By Emma S.

Every week, Ms. Mercer’s DLP class visits the school library to read a story with Ms. Linss, and do a project relating to the story. This past week, the students listened to Zippy Zebra, the story of a zebra in a zoo who loves things that start with the letter ‘Z’. Ms. Mercer’s students did an exciting art project about Zippy Zebra in the zoo. For this project, the students pasted cutouts of zoo animals onto a piece of paper, pasted brown paper shaped like cages onto the animals, and then creatively decorated the zoo animals and the background. The students also had fun acting out a puppet show of Zippy Zebra. Ms. Mercer’s students can’t wait to see what fun and educational activity they will do next week!

All eighty kindergartens recently went on a field trip to the Lake Theatre in downtown Oak Park. They went to see Disney’s Oceans during its opening week so, they helped raise money for preserving our oceans. Disney has promised to donate one dollar per ticket towards preserving the worlds’ oceans when anyone goes to see the movie on opening week. The movie used wonderful camerawork and followed the lives of certain underwater creatures. The kindergarten got to experience life as if they were living under the water. They helped the earth by walking, not taking the bus. In total they donated about eighty dollars.
