Detroit Premier Welcomes Mobile Wildlife Exhibit for Young Scholars

Detroit Premier Academy students recently came face to face with some of Earth’s most interesting creatures. This fun event connected students’ classroom learning to the real world.

The school welcomed a wildlife exhibit for Kindergarten and first-grade scholars, and they were eager to get a look at some unique animals. Among the amazing sights were an owl soaring around the school gym and a variety of snakes and turtles.

Students also had the chance to touch and learn about reptiles. This hands-on experience showed these young students what the animals they learn about are like in person. Students used their curiosity to spark meaningful discussions about animal habitats, behavior, and conservation.

The assembly also allowed students to practice some of the things they’ve learned through Moral Focus™, the backbone of National Heritage Academies’® character-focused curriculum. When interacting with these creatures, students practiced virtues such as respect, self-control, and compassion.
