Jacksonville Zoo


Well, we were very sad today that our field trip to the zoo was cancelled due to the weather conditions.  However, we went on a "virtual" zoo trip in the classroom!  We visited the Jacksonville Zoo website and National Geographic Kids (both websites below on links) .  We watched videos of all of the animals that we are writing our reports on in Writer's Workshop.  Then we went to the Destination Success website and read a story on penguins and puffins.  It fit in perfectly with our reading strategy for this week which was comparing and contrasting.  We also ate lunch in the classroom and after our Math Workshop we made Christmas wreaths.
