Today we had a special visit from the Staten Island Zoo. The kids were so excited! They got to meet and touch a turtle, lizard, and a ball snake. They learned that turtles have shells to protect themselves and also have webbed feet. They learned that a lizards skin is tough and feels like sand. And they learned that a when a ball snake is scared, it curls tightly into a ball!
