On April 13, Creature Quest came to Olivet to provide an interactive animal experience. Our Playschool and Kindergarten students had an opportunity to view, learn, touch and ask questions about a variety of animals. Our animal visitors included the following; Amphibians (frog, salamander), Arthropods (crab, millipede), Mammal (rabbit) and Reptiles (snake, lizard, turtle). Our brave and willing students demonstrated patience, respect and curiosity as each species was introduced by our presenters.
We travelled the globe learning interesting facts on habitat, species characteristics, and diet before we had an opportunity to hold or touch each animal. Our presenter fed meal worms to the box turtle and salamander... with a few exclamations of wow and yuk!
The class favourites were; Super Bunny Burger King for softness, Dr. Jeckles the Halloween Crab for ticklish legs, and Freckles the Hog Nosed Snake for a tight squeeze, and Hinge the Eastern Box Turtle for snapping up the meal worm!
