How was your online field trip to the zoo different from actually going to the zoo?  How was it similar?

My Favorite Place Activity

​I am now going to give you a paper copy of the activity below.  For this activity, you will draw a picture of your favorite thing. While you are working, I will come around and help each of you write the name of your favorite thing.
Do a good job, because you will share what you drew with the class.
