From the largest whale in the ocean to the smallest hummingbird in the air, animals are as fascinating as they are varied. Mammals, birds, reptiles, insects—they all need food, water, oxygen and a place to live. Crafts, stories, games, and songs help us learn about the animal kingdom. The animals in Science Station and the Butterfly Station and Garden will add a touch of adventure to this week.

Explore ways to get across to the other side. We will visit the river in our own city’s backyard to see many of the things we read and sing about up close!
