PreK-K Students

Take a journey into the animal kingdom without leaving the classroom! From the tallest giraffes to the tiniest monkeys, each class brings a new animal to life through movement, storytelling, and creative play. Using the San Diego Zoo just next door as inspiration, we'll jump, slither, and roar our way through the wild, discovering what makes each creature unique. Whether you're a playful panda, a clever capybara, or the mischievous Moo Deng, you'll use your own animal characters to tell stories and have a wild time along the way!
