This year I introduced the first Animal Action Week at the primary school I am work with. It was a great week full of fun activities. Thanks to Hands Across the Sea and donations from family and friends, we recently received a large number of fiction and non fiction animal books. We were able to incorporate the library into the Animal Action Week by creating an "Animal Fact Wall" as well as encouraging students to check out the new books. The students could post facts that they learned throughout the week on the wall.
I also encouraged all students to check out books related to animals. We conducted a book share today to give them a chance to share what they learned from their books.

The week also included movie time in the computer lab for each class to watch a National Geographic DVD for kids about various animals.
Grades K and 1 took a field trip to the local Vet!
And the grand finale to conclude Animal Action week was animal face painting!! This activity was the most touching to me since the idea was presented by teachers who wanted to support AAW and get involved. Very cool.
