Last week our class partnered with Mr. Thomas' kindergarten to go on an animal safari! We learned about the country of Rwanda and the African rainforest. We "took a plane, paddled a river, and rode a jeep" to the rainforest so we could research the animals. Before the journey we learned about what to pack to stay safe and have fun. The kids determined they needed hats to protect their heads from spiders and snakes, binoculars to spy animals high in the canopy trees, and hiking boots to protect their feet from water or ground snakes to name a few. We then began the search with our books to record facts and pictures from our observations.
