Scaredy Cat
Today Scaredy Cat and friends are back in school learning about the rhinoceros. Did you know May 1st is Save the Rhino Day? Scaredy Cat is not too sure about Bob bringing a pet rhino to the class with those pointy noses, but he decided that having them in the class was alright since they ARE an endangered species. The class learns that the rhinoceros is a fascinating creature. Native to Africa, this leftover from the age of dinosaurs was hunted to near extinction. Hunters on safaris would kill rhinos just for sport. Poachers hunted them for their horns. The horn has been used as medicine, as well as for making knife handles, carved statues, and other objects. Animal rights groups have helped to save this animal from extinction, and their numbers have rebounded somewhat. Scaredy Cat and his classmates are eager to find out what kind of fun projects their teacher will offer as they continue their studies of this magnificent creature!

This week - it's all about the rhinoceros! How do you think you might want to celebrate "Save the Rhino Day"? Will you watch documentaries on the rhinoceros? I bet you can find a film or two that features a rhino as the main character in the story! You could visit rhinos at a zoo and talk to one of the zoo keepers to get some interesting facts about them. Here's a wild idea - why not go on a safari to see some close up (or at least as close as is safe)! Are there group that are working towards preserving the rhinoceros? You could look into volunteering with them, learning all about them when you visit their safe habitat. Maybe perhaps you could adopt a rhino (a virtual adoption of course)? Are you crafty and artistic? You could go to the local craft shop and get the supplies to paint a scene with rhinos or even make a rhinoceros out of Papier mâché! However you decide to celebrate the majestic rhinoceros, we can't wait to see what you share with us!
