Africa visitor!

Last Friday, my mother (in law) came in to visit and share with us all the adventures she has had in Africa as well as show us the cool things she brought back with her.

We showed her how to use some of our technology (the classroom has changed a lot since she retired a few years ago!)

Here are some porcupine quills. They are much bigger on the African porcupine!

Mrs. G. explained the difference between predators and prey as well as characteristics of herbivores and carnivores. Then she showed us some skulls so we could easily see those characteristics ourselves.

On the smart board is a picture of a spider that was in their room in Africa. Those are a lot bigger than we can find around here as well!

Mrs. G. also brought in some animal hides and skins for us to look at, see and touch. How cool!

It was great having her come in and visit us and we all learned a lot! Thanks Mrs. G!
