Zoomobile!

Having the Zoomobile come to our school was such a treat for all of the classes. Each class got to see various animals based on specific programs. For example, the curriculum and program for 4th grade was specific to "Food Chains". The 7th and 8th grades enjoyed learning about animals with the program titled, "Shifing the Balance".

Anytime children can be exposed to animals and learning through up close presentations, it helps to foster a connection to nature and our human obligation to extend environmental stewardship to God's beautiful and diverse creatures.

The Ball Python. This animal will curl itself into a ball for protection. Perhaps it's skin also offer protection - the spots look like eyes... Nature's adaptations abound.
