Our trip to the Jacksonville Zoo!

What a WILD and WONDERFUL day at the Jacksonville Zoo! Our class had a blast exploring and learning all about the animals many of them used for their report. Seeing these animals up close and personal was such a fabulous experience.

After we hiked around the zoo, we were able to attend an educational class that taught us all about several different animals like a screech owl, red snake, turtle, crocodile, and chinchilla. The baby crocodile was pretty scary! The teacher of the class was very impressed by how much they all knew about animals' habitats and behaviors. She was in awe of the vocabulary words they were using. Way to go class!

This trip was not only wonderful for the students, but for the teachers as well. :) It is so rewarding for the students to be able to apply what they have been learning in class. It was clear to the workers at the zoo, and myself, that they can use their recently acquired knowledge. AWESOME JOB!
