Emily's class spent the entire week at the zoo. The kids were split into four groups and each child became an 'expert' on an animal they were studying. Emily studied giraffes. I joined her class yesterday for their last day of zoo school. It was pretty neat as all the kids then 'taught' their classmates about their animals. I learned a lot too! I was also pretty impressed with her teacher as she had to submit an application back in March, write a letter and meet various other requirements in order to participate in zoo school. Only 27 classes were accepted for this year and Emily's was one of them. Considering how many schools and classes are in Calgary, that's incredible.
