Student Activities

On April 4th, Richie Braatz and Leigh Jensen of the Madison Area Herpetological Society and parents of West student Zooey in Mrs. Baird's class, visited West Kindergarten Center to share their love of animals. Braatz and Jensen helped the students learn about the differences between reptiles and amphibians, what the major groups are and where they live. Our students had the opportunity to see, touch, and hold snakes and other reptiles and amphibians - and were quite a bit more fearless than most of the adults present!
