Rumble in the Jungle Day 4

Today was the last day of summer camp, but also the BEST day!  
Mr. Jeff from the Aquarium at Fort Fisher spent the day with us teaching about reptiles.  

The first creature we met was a Five Lined Skink.  
We learned about how to enjoy wild animals in their habitat without disturbing them.

Then we got to touch this box turtle. 
 He was super active and happy to see us.

We also met this very nice corn snake.  
We found out that he gets his name from the pattern on his belly,  it looks just like Indian corn!

Finally, we met this baby alligator.  Everyone was SO brave today.

This is the molted skin of a boa constrictor, who lived in South America.

After our learning time, we painted these paper bag Macaws.
 Then we added colorful feathers.

Our snack today was Macaw Mix, or bird seed! 
We were careful to scoop each item in our cup.

During math centers we reviewed our concepts from the week.  
We made pattern block jungle animals.

And played Money-see, Monkey-do one more time!
Thank you so very much for sharing your children with us this week.  
It was a wonderful week, filled with laughter, fun, learning, and discovery~
