Dinner or Diner?

If you could be an animal, what would you be? Would you survive as the hunter or become the prey? With the help of live animals, a game, and a craft, we will discover how animals are connected, and the type of food they need to survive.

We Care

Are there things that you need to survive? Who helps you get what you need? In this class, we will look at how animals are cared for as pets, in the wild, and at the Saint Louis Zoo. Our "Missouri Tree" will help us discover the care that trees provide for animals, each one of us, and people in our neighborhoods.
