Ethans Zoo Report

For two weeks Ethan was preparing for his zoo report by picking an animal, researching and writing about it, and creating a habitat, from a shoe box, to display it in. Ethan picked a King Cobra! The teacher was very specific that they were to make these THEMSELVES. Of course, that was a bit hard for my micro managing personality, but Ethan did well. He painted the inside of his box and then cut out clouds and trees from construction paper. Then he gathered grass and glued it to the bottom. He also glued twigs from some our plants along the back, used rocks and a small piece of wood he held down with duct tape. I did help him with the Cobra. We printed a picture and then glued it to card stock and cut it out. He took pipe cleaner and attached it for the tail. He was very proud of his creation.

The entire Kindergarten displayed their boxes in the cafeteria, for all the parents to come see. They all sat down at tables and had their reports in front of them so they could answer questions. Though Ethan's wasn't the BEST ( obviously some parents couldn't help themselves), you could never tell by the huge smile and gleam in his eye as he anxiously anticipated every person's reaction to his box as they walked by! What a great idea. I love his Kindergarten!
