3rd grade students from Ms. Kane's class attended Potter Park Zoo School for one week, learning about specific animals through observation, sketching, writing and research. Students learned to sketch animals in art class before attending the zoo. Students kept detailed notebooks throughout the week and brought those notebooks to art. We put what they learned at zoo school to work by creating "Animal Vessels" in clay and "Animal Masks" . The students will use their animal masks in computer class to video record "animal interviews" demonstrating what they learned about their animals.

Zoo Interviews
After returning from the week long zoo experience, students used their observations and other information they learned about their animal to create an interview. They wrote 5 questions that they could ask their animal and 5 responses that the animals would give, if they could talk. They practiced their interviews with a partner before filming the interviews with high school students. Click HERE to watch Ms. Kane's Zoo Interviews.
