What do you do when you’re at the zoo? If you are an Unquowa third or fourth grader you know there is plenty to do at the zoo! On a recent trip there, we started out in a classroom to learn about habitats. Students were presented with containers filled with hints of a habitat. A snowy owl feather, the claw of a polar bear and toy seal hinted to the arctic, while some sand, a snake skin and cactus spines hinted to a dessert habitat. Later students were able to touch a few animals from the habitats studied including a chinchilla and a young alligator. Students were then sent out to complete a scavenger hunt in the zoo. We discovered the largest land predator in North America and found endangered species in residence at the zoo. We enjoyed the beautiful fall weather with a bagged lunch outdoors before heading back to school. It was a good day at the zoo!
