This year our Kindergarten students had a wonderful trip to Franklin Park Zoo. It was the perfect trip to create background knowledge for our Letter Z book, Put Me In The Zoo by Robert Lopshire. Spot believes he should be in the Zoo and shows all the "things that he can do" to two young friends. There is some discussion about what type of animal Spot is and does he actually belong in a zoo! Big questions, awesome thinking. "Spot is a dog!" "No, Spot is a bear." "Spot is a pretend animal." Actually Spot is a "spotted" leopard but that does not really matter because the real beauty in this story is that we realize that there is a perfect place for everyone no matter what they are!
