An Exciting Animal Adventure Awaits...
An Exciting Animal Adventure Awaits...
As we walked through our last adventure did you notice all the animals that were drawn to the delicious garden goodies? On our next adventure we will be learning about animals from all over the world! What do you know about animals? What questions do you have? Do you know what the tiniest animal is named? How about the biggest, fastest, or slowest animal? See if you can find the answers to these questions and your own as you go on this journey.
Are you ready to begin? Grab your passport along with a journal/paper and join us on this amazing animal adventure! As we travel together, write down some of the interesting things you learn about animals. Also, write down any new vocabulary words you notice while reading. When our adventure is complete, use the information you wrote in your travel journals to create a book or newspaper article that teaches others about some of the animals you learned about while traveling with us. Let's go!

Adventure Passport
We will be taking six different adventures together. Each journey will last for two weeks. After each adventure, the Title 1 crew will post a special passport stamp to represent our journey together. You can print out the stamp and glue it into the visa section of your passport or you can create your own drawing to represent our journey together. There will be one stamp for each of the six spots on your visa.
Let the journey begin...

Peppi
Peppi
My first pet was a dog named Peppi. My parents found her in the street when I was six months old. She was so small she fit in a shoe box. Peppi and I grew up together and were the best of friends. When I was happy, I shared my special moments with her. And, when I was sad, I could hold her and cry if I needed to. She was with me for 14 years, and I still have such fond memories of her.

My Siamese cat, Purry with my Mom and brother, Mike and Me
This was my first cat, Purry. She was a Seal Point Siamese cat. She lived to be 15 years old. She had blue, crossed eyes and she was very lovable. She loved to be held, she loved to play.
Soon, we added a friend for Purry. Her name was Sweetie. She was also a Siamese cat. She was a Chocolate Point Siamese cat. Her tail, ears and bottoms of her paws were brown. I loved these cats!

Moon Jellies
Moon Jellies
As a child, my family would travel to Nags Head, NC and spend hours on the beach. We would comb the shore for shells and surf through the waves. While out in the water we would find these huge blobs of jelly floating around. Many people were scared and would stay out of the water because jellyfish sting. My dad and I would swim through the water anyway and never get stung. He showed me that those jellyfish were called moon jellies and could be held in your hand since there were no tentacles to worry about stinging you. Often times, the jellies are broken apart because of the rough surf.
I carry out this tradition with my daughter, we find these moon jellies, scoop them out of the water, and throw them toward one another. She enjoys finding the moon jellies and sharing her knowledge with others. The ocean is full of amazing creatures!

Feeding Giraffes
Feeding Giraffes
My first encounter with a real giraffe was at the Richmond Zoo. I will never forget holding a handful of food and allowing a giraffe to come and eat right out of my hand! The giraffe had a huge tongue, and it felt like sandpaper gliding across my hand as he quickly gobbled up the food! Their tongues can be 18-20 inches long. The features of their tongues allow them to eat a range of plants including leaves, seeds, and fruit buds.

Elephants
Elephants
These Asian elephants are not bored like the ones I have seen in zoos, instead they are full of life! These elephants live in a sanctuary where they can live as a family, roam freely, and forage for food. In captivity, they have a lifespan of 40 years but in the wild, they can live up to 70 years! Did you know that elephants are very smart and show signs of grief years after losing a family member? These elephants are taking a mud bath, which protects them from the sun and bugs. Here is a link if you would like to learn more!
