Lesson Outline
The lesson was online so started with an introduction to Luna the adorable dog at Jonathan's home. In showing me a couple of favorite toys, first a hover board that Luna chases (too cute!) and then a stuffed tree hollow with three (3) named squeaky squirrels that live in the toy's tree holes. This is Luna's toy, and a great way to relate to how other animals use tree holes as safe refuge from predators. I told Jonathan about our program in Madagascar, comparing squirrels and lemurs. We compared them for a bit and since I have found the toy online for our international program. I have texted a link with homework that can be read by parent with child if you would like to explore more. https://www.aam-us.org/2020/10/30/the-promise-of-virtual-education-programs-cross-cultural-exchange-school-museum-collaborations-and-steam-learning-and-lemurs/ In summary, Nosy Be sportive lemurs that I study with our nonprofit live in tree holes, and in degraded forests that lack tree holes, we build wooden boxes where they sleep and have babies. These lemurs are critically endangered. Very cool that Jonathan offered such a relevant toy to the discussion, so Dr. Clark will buy a tree log for students in Madagascar! Great idea Jonathan!!

Lesson Comments
The first 15-20 minutes were spent dealing with no audio on Microsoft teams, so we conducted the lesson via iPhone FaceTime. It was a very engaging lesson once connected.
