.gntetmecfiate an ptimaty pepattmentzi V A Trip to the Zoo Mrs, Day's and Mrs. Breed's classes went to the zoo. They all went on a bus. Mrs. Breed's class had been studying about various animals for several months. They found where every animal came from. Some girls in the junior high made a map of the world for them. The children made pictures of the animals, placing them in their respective countries. They made stories about each animal and placed them together in a book.
