Animals Try-It

1. Caring for Pets (Tues. 3/23/10):

My aunt's dog Roger needs food, water, the veterinarian, dog grooming, toys, exercise, bathroom outside, walks, and lots of love to stay healthy. Conniel also had parakeets, chameleons, and hamsters. You had to feed the chameleon live crickets! She said that the dog was the best pet. (I think you can guess what was the worst!)

2. Understanding Animals (Fri. 3/26):

We visited Pyramid Mountain and did activities about watching fireflies communicate by blinking codes, watching and identifying different animal's eyes, and listening to the sounds that different animals make. It was fun, and I made a new friend from another troop.

3. Creature Moves (Tues. 3/23/10):

a. Rabbit Hop
b. Seal Slide
c. Elephant Walk
d. Crab Scuttle
e. Inchworm Crawl
f. Frog Jump
g. Snake Slither

4. Looks Mean Something (Fri. 3/26):

At the Pyramid Mountain program we played a game where we had to guess what animal we were wearing on our back by asking questions about its body and habitat. It was fun.

5. Sounds Charades (Tues. 3/23/10):

I made the sounds for these animals:

chicken
fly
horse
donkey
sparrow
lion
frog
elephant
rattlesnake
sea lion
cow
parrot
alligator
monkey
cat mouse
owl

I thought that it was hard to think of how to make the cricket sound so I didn't do it!
