Animals is one of the topics that has been worked with the 1st graders of the school through basic games such as domino or memory. Therefore, I want to deepen in the topic of animals and study the zoo: its animals, their habitats and some of their physical traits. Besides, I would like the students to think about the question: are zoos good or bad for the animals? Are animals happy in there?
