On March 14th the entire Grade 3 at School 33 Bilingual Center took the enrichments they had designed for four of the animals (Lion, Polar Bear, Mule, and Gorilla) to the Buffalo Zoo to place into each animal's habitat and observe their behavior with the enrichment.
Here are some of the exciting things that happened:
Lion Habitat

AFTER:
The keeper put an extra box in the lion habitat because there were 2 lions and he didn't want them to fight over the giraffe.
Mule Habitat
Below are pictures of the student's enrichments for the Mule habitat before the Mule was introduced to them.
Here comes the Mule.
Polar Bear Habitat
Below are pictures of the student's enrichments for the Polar Bear

Mmmmmmm frozen Gatorade! Yummy!
Gorilla Habitat
The students made a mural on acetate to hang on the window of the Gorilla habitat. At first they were very interested, but we were unable to capture this on film as their interest faded quickly. However, below shows the mural and the Gorillas in the habitat.
