Week 7 - Saving our Wild Side


These kids are animals! Everyone has a wild side and this week, the Baker second graders got a chance to explore theirs. We went to a fun website created by the Wildlife Conservation Society. It's called Build Your Wild Self and it gives kids the chance to see what they might look like with various animal parts. Elephant legs, fox ears, gorilla arms, sea lion flippers...they tried them all and a whole lot more. The kids got a chance to explore the different animal parts and learn a bit about the animals themselves. Not only did they create some crazy new species, but like true conservationists, they also saved them! Saved them to their P drive, that is. (Note: the site has a few minor glitches, but they still had fun. See...computers aren't perfect after all.)
