Lesson Outline
Dane and I discussed animals' pedigrees. We looked up the definition of the word pedigree which explains the record of descent of an animal. Dane showed me pictures of his two dogs, Max and Gunner, both of whom are rescues. He was unsure if they were pedigrees but I commented that one looked as if it were a Jack Russell terrier, and Dane believes I was correct. He also showed me a picture of a video he took near his house of Sandhill crane eating out of his hand. He participated in a creative imagination exercise which challenged him to combine two animals, in their names and features, and morph them into one. Dane came up with a tiger and eagle combination and called it a teagle. He found this humorous and enjoyed coming up with different combos of animals. We ended our session researching Sandhill cranes and iguanas. Dane learned that iguanas have several anatomical features that regulate their body heat. The research arose out of Dane's interest and questioning why iguanas and lizards move the large flap of skin under their skin, which we learned are called dewlaps. It was an informative as well as a fun session.
