Animal Refuge League Visit

                  

A humane educator from the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland, Brittany Burke, visited the kindergarten classrooms. She taught us about animal adaptations and survival. We learned that the behavior of domestic animals can often reflect how their relatives survive in the wild. We had a chance to meet "Slinky" the ferret and we learned that ferrets are related to weasels, minks and skunks. This presentation connects with our study of "Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems: Animals and their Environment."

Kindergarten students have been studying animal adaptation. We learned about how some animals (such as bears) hibernate in winter. We painted and assembled bears during center time. We also wrote facts about how bears survive.
