Geography Day VI & VII - Lenni Lenape & Philly Zoo

Second to last stop was, Lenni Lenape.  Students listened to and saw pictures during a presentation about the Lenape Indians.  After the presentation they were able to learn more about the Lenape culture, such as how they prepared food, their beliefs and rituals, games and entertainment, and the tools they made to hunt and build with. 


















Finally all the fourth graders met in the gym for an end of the day assembly.  A woman from the Philadelphia Zoo brought some animals to share with us that live in New Jersey. 

Black-footed Ferret named Amy: 



Great-Horned Owl named Mia:

 Snake named Bebe:

And a retired (I believe she said from Disney's parks) porcupine who loves to eat almonds:



On our way out of the gym students were able to touch an alligator's skin.  Yikes!  What a way to end a great day!!
