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."
