Below you will find a list of teacher approved website links to use while researching your animal. Every child will have a zoo animal to research. The zoo animals will be assigned on Monday, March 10th. The children will be researching for the next 2 weeks, in preparation for the overnight trip to the zoo. Please make sure you checked your child's Homework Folder on Friday the 7th. Zoo information went home that day. Please return those forms ASAP and let me know if you have any questions or concerns about necessary items that MUST be brought and items to be LEFT at home.
Thursday, March 20 -students board buses at 4:45 p.m. for overnight field trip to Zoo Atlanta, we will return to Big Shanty at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 21
(we can not refund Zoo fees or add students or adults at this time
