Students in Mrs. McKinnon's class are exploring unusual animal friendships. We started off with
Tara and Bella, an elephant and dog who became friends at an animal sanctuary. Then we read
Owen & Mzee and talked about possible reasons why they bonded. Finally, we read the following from
Unlikely Friendships: 47 Remarkable Stories from the Animal Kingdom - Koko the gorilla and the cat, a seal and a photographer, and a snake and a hamster. This week students picked two animals they think could possibly make an unlikely friendship and will begin doing research to write their own animal friendship story.
See below for videos of our favorite friends.
