Are you wishing you could experience the zoo from the comfort of your own home? Now you can!
For today’s summer learning opportunity, we’re heading to the Oregon Zoo! The Oregon Zoo brings the “zoo to you” through videos aligned to different subject content areas that students learn about in school, including language arts, science and more. Those are available here: https://www.oregonzoo.org/bringing-zoo-you
The Oregon Zoo posts new videos on a regular basis, including behind-the-scenes interviews with animal care staff. To see those, go to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3oWOleSolsVhal5krntOlg. #RepMOProud
