Let's play Butterfly School and say hello to Zoomy the caterpillar!  Today is the 26th day of February.  Zoomy counted all the letters in the alphabet.  There are 26!   "Z" is the 26th letter!  Zommy is learning about the letter "z" today.  What can we tell Zoomy?  "Z" sounds like "zzzz."  Let's say "zzz".  It can feel ticklish!  Let's say some "z" words and stretch out the "zzz" sound:  zzzzoo, zzzipper.  Let's count and circle 26 "z"s for Zoomy!
