The next animal that Matthew chose was gorillas. We went to the library and got about 10 books to read. The first two were Dian Fossey and the Mountain Gorillas and Gorilla Gorilla. The Dian Fossey book was good and was right at his age level...the reading level on the book says grades 2-3. The Gorilla Gorilla book was sad! It's about a gorilla growing up in the mountains and then he gets captured and taken to a zoo. It was very good. After we were done reading it Matthew said, "Mom, that book was really sad." I agreed.
Our Safari cards has a gorilla card. So we read the card, then used the flip chart to figure out where to place the card on our wall. Under Mammals!! :)
Next is flamingos! |
