HI Gabby,



I'm wondering where your mother is located?



Here are a couple of resources you can pass on that might be helpful.  We don't have the capabilities to do Skype in the classroom at this time unfortunately, but hopefully this can help out.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Anyone in the zoo field willing to skype with a class?



I was wondering if anyone with experience at zoos or who currently works at a zoo might want to be super awesome and help me out with something. My mom teaches kids with autism and unfortunately, there aren't a lot of resources for her students at their local zoos. She's doing a lesson on the differences between plants and animals, and I was hoping someone here might be willing to do a skype lesson with her class? It wouldn't have to be anything too intensive, maybe just have a few different plants and animals on hand to showcase to her students, and explain what makes them different? I'd be happy to assist with the lesson, and am totally open to suggestions

Thanks friends!!

-Gabby
