TOYS FOR THE ANIMALS AT THE NEW ZOO! Did you know that all animals living in a zoo need what’s called “enrichment.”? This means they need things to play with to keep them from getting bored! Our Zoo Keepers are always creating new, fun, things for our animals to play with, and they reached out for help. So, Mrs. Miekle, Secondary Art Teacher, and Mrs. Thomas, Kindergarten Teacher, did a collaborative art lesson and service project with high school and kindergarten students. Many animals enjoy ripping and tearing into things to find their food, and these paper maché creations will be filled with all sorts of fun and tasty treats by the Zoo Keepers. They know exactly which animals enjoy the paper maché, and exactly what kinds of treats go best in a paper maché creation. Check out the great “toys” for the animals at the NEW Zoo. Our Gibraltar students had a blast with this learning and service opportunity!
