Animal
Adoption
As we culminate
our study on animal adaptations, habitats and environmental protection, the
students have been discussing ways to help, protect, and care for the Earth and
it’s many living things. A special way we feel we can help our environment is
protecting the animals that roam our planet. With that in mind, 1L has planed
to adopt an endangered animal. As a class, we voted and decided to adopt a Black
Jaguar through the World Wildlife Fund. Our class donation will go towards
keeping the Black Jaguar safe and living free in the wild. We have decided to make
a goal to donate at least $3.00 per student to the fund. But of course, any
spare change is welcomed! Encourage your child to do odd jobs, help clean up the
yard, make a lemonade stand! Anything to earn money for this good cause! We are
so excited to play a role in helping this species live happily on our planet.
Please return your donation by Friday May 25th, 2018 so that your child can be
a part of our class Environmental Service Project.

Here is some information about the Black Jaguar:
The term “black panther” may be applied to
several types of great cat, but in the Amazon it refers to jaguars.
Not a separate species, but a rare color variant, black jaguars are powerful
hunters and play a vital role within their ecosystem. Like all jaguars, these
carnivores are masters of ambush, and it is thought that their dark color
adaptation might aid these cats in their hunting. Unfortunately, like all
jaguars, this color variation of the species is just as susceptible to threats
like habitat loss.
