THEMES:

K-2nd Grade Theme: Aaand…ACTION!
Crawl, slither and hop with us as we soar and explore some of the different ways animals move. This semester will be a high-flying adventure filled with animals and ways they get their groove on.

3rd-5th Grade Theme: Gotta Go Fast
From sloths and red pandas to ostriches and tigers, join us this semester as we visit some of the fastest (and the slowest) animals here at Zoo Atlanta. We'll discover why some animals feel the need for speed while others take the slow route.

6th-8th Grade Theme: Have to Have a Habitat
Habitat, habitat, have to have a habitat. A habitat is so much more than just where an animal lives. Join us this semester as we aim to discover the ins and outs of what makes a healthy and happy home for an animal.

9th-12th Grade Theme: If I Only Had a Brain
BRAAIIINS! Get your head in the game as we learn about not only our mighty brains, but those of other animals too. Are owls truly wise? Do elephants really never forget? Join us to find out!
