Curious George Visits the Zoo is a book that allows children to explore and wonder the world around them. In this story, George and his friend, the man with the yellow hat, visit a zoo to enjoy all the animals from different parts of the world. However, George takes it upon himself to take snatch up some bananas from the zoo keeper to help the zoo keeper out. Though he shouldn't have taken them, George soon changes the zoo keeper's shouts to praises with his clever, curious ways. Children are natural explorers and I believe a zoo field trip along with this story is a great way for them to do so. Explore the different animals, discover and learn about their origins, and take pictures of the field trip that way you can share with families using a scanner. One of the best uses of scanners in the classroom is digitizing students assignments, it can be scanned and used in creative ways. Create a newsletter or website for parents to know what new things their kids are learning and doing, add pictures of the fun, adventurous field trip the class just ventured on. The zoo field trip is a great way to motivate children to not only explore the book and read more, but think of the other classroom connections you can make as well. Count how many Elephants you see, and how many legs do Flamingos have? Explore and wonder with your kids through this amazing book.
