1st Grade Zoo Day!

On March 27th the first grader's had their Zoo Day!!  They had each picked a different animal and over spring break they worked on their posters and animals for the zoo.  Traevn was so excited the entire week leading up to zoo day.  He could not wait until the parents got to come at the end of the week.  He memorized all the facts and information about his animal.  He had chosen to do his on the green anaconda.  
It was cool how they had it set up.  You walked around to each kid and on their desks was their animal display and there was also a handprint that said "Push."  As soon as this was pushed the child would lift his head and begin reciting the facts and info on his animal.  As soon as they were done they would lower their head until their handprint was pushed again.  Traevn did awesome!!! He didn't have to even look at his poster once.   On each poster the kids got to tell what they would do if they were that animal, Traevn's said, "If I were an anaconda, I would squeeze things."  Brekken, Peyton, Brynlei, Dad, and I had so much fun visiting the Heritage Elementary Zoo.
