Over the past semester, the students in Mrs. Jennings's 4th grade Reading class read the novel, The One and Only Ivan. Using this novel as inspiration, the students worked with the ACE teacher to build a zoo enclosure that would meet the needs of their chosen animal. Working in groups, the students researched their animals, designed an appropriate space, and built a diorama of the enclosure. Finally, the students acted as tour guides for other students visiting the zoo.
