Minnesota Zoo - Google+ Hangout with Mrs. Mata's 3rd grade class

Today Mrs. Mata's 3rd graders had the opportunity of traveling to the Minnesota Zoo via Google+. The Minnesota Zoo did an awesome job of explaining to the 3rd graders how zoos work, showed them some very cool animals, and answered a lot of well thought out questions.   This was a great way to tie in science curriculum about animals at a time when students are researching animals for a Language Arts writing assignment, and even learning about zoo animals in Spanish!   This was an exciting opportunity for kids to connect with the zoologist and naturalist from Minnesota - for free!    Thank you to the Minnesota Zoo for this awesome experience!
