On March 11th, A.P. Morris Early Childhood Center scholars participated in an assembly in which they asked questions about the attributes, habitats, and life span of a lizard, bearded dragon, hedgehog, owl, and chinchilla! The presenters provided excellent feedback about the attributes of the animals and how they are cared for. The scholars were engaged and displayed respect by maintaining a quiet environment to not scare the animals. After the show, the students were able to take pictures with the animals and buy merchandise. It was a wonderful experience for all! Thank you, @barnhillpreserve for visiting A.P. Morris and educating our students in a fun, engaging way with animals! #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #newpride #newpathways #newpossibilities #naturepreserve #nature
