Foam Core Airplanes
Use foam core (or matte board, or foam board, or styrofoam
trays like those found in supermarkets for holding meat) and
cut out two rectangles for each child, about 4 inches
(approximately 10 centimeters) wide by 11 inches long (approx.
28 centimeters.) In one of the rectangles, cut a 4 inch (10 cm)
slit for the "wings." Take the other rectangle and insert it into
this slit. Secure with sticky tape or a bit of Blue Tak. Provide
some stickers and markers or Textas and let the children make
each plane their own. Take the planes for a test flight.
Experiment a little. Do the planes fly better with the wingtips
bent up, for example? Try adding a little weight at the tip with a
tiny bit of Blue Tak or putty. How does this change things?
Have fun, and have extra foam pieces available, because the
children will tear these up in a hurry!

Classroom Field Trip
Take the children to a local airport for a fun excursion.
Ask to have a guided tour. If you know of any parents
who fly their own planes, ask permission for the children
to come have a look up close at their aircraft.

Morning Circle:
Letter "Z." Show the children the letter "Z." (B&W)
Sound out the letter with the children. Does the
letter tickle their tongues?
Show the following words, (Page 1 Page 2) along
with an accompanying picture, to the children as
you read them aloud: Zebra, Zero, Zipper, Zoo,
Zigzag, and Zeppelin. As you show the children the
picture of the Zeppelin, ask them if they've ever
seen anything like it. Ask them if they've ever seen
a blimp. Explain briefly how Zeppelins are different
from other types of aircraft. Click Here for more
information on Zeppelins.

| Airplane dramatic play. Provide caps and jackets that resemble pilot or steward uniforms for dress-up play. Provide some old pieces of luggage, a scale, a wagon, rows of seats for the inside buckles (old belts will do just fine,) card stock or paper "tickets," some luggage tags (ask an airline counter if they might lend a stack,) and a "ticket counter" with paper, calculators, and rubber stamps and ink pads. |
Counting review
(also aids in understanding the concept of "zero.") Give each child a "tally sheet" for various objects
which may (or may not,) be found on the table. For example, list ten items the children must find and
count. List these down the sheet with an accompanying picture to help the children associate the object
with its written name. Keep the number of objects within the children's abilities, i.e., ten items or less.
Objects to count might include, for example, ten paper clips, nine rubber bands, eight spoons, seven toy
planes, six stuffed animals, five drinking straws, four socks, three shoe boxes, two tambourines, one
beach ball, and zero swimming pools. Show the children how to make tally marks beside each listing.
When they are finished, help them write the appropriate numeric figure beside each group of tallies. It
may help to have a chart available which shows the correct number beside the corresponding number of
tally marks. For instance, that "llll" equals the number "4," and so on.

Handwriting Practice: Z is for Zeppelin
This is an optional handwriting worksheet for
children who are ready to practice tracing the
letters of the alphabet. Z is for Zepplin and
children can color the letter Z, and trace the
words. There is also Z for Zig-zag as well, and
children draw the continuation of the shapes.
