We had our Safari World trip today with all 110 of our grade 7 kids. Jessica, on the right is my science teaching partner and all around a great teacher and organizer. I couldn't ask for a better partner in crime. The middle, Clare is the my math-buddy and Cookie, is a retired teacher from Wisconsin who is teaching the intense ESL. It's a pretty intelligent group os gals!
The focus of the trip was to become more aware of treatment of animals and their use in shows. so, we had....
The Orangutan Show which included:
Boxing orangutans.
Orangutans dressed in everything imaginable.
The Elephant Show which was actually quite sad, since they are beautiful animals and most of what they do in the show would never be done in the wild.
I ahd heard of painting elephants but until today I thought that it meant that people painted the elephants skin. Nope, the elephants paint pictures like these three.
A closer look.
