The students are learning about animals in science. We got a letter from Dr. Zooby, an animal caretaker, who needed help taking care of some of his animals. He gave each group a type of animal and then the students had to tell him what the animal needed to live and grow. It was challenging trying to decide what were needs for each animal and what were wants of the animals. Dr. Zooby was very happy to see such great problem solvers in first grade.
