May I present to you, Mrs. Jane Goodall! She is an amazing scientist from London, England. She is an animal lover and her favorite book is Tarzan of the Apes In 1957, Jane traveled to Kenya to study chimpanzees, monkeys, and apes in the African jungles. While observing chimpanzees, she discovered they were a lot like humans. The chimpanzees like to hug, kiss, hold hands, tickle, and when they were mad they would kick, punch, and pinch. In 1962, Jane went to Cambridge University to study animal behavioral science. She married a wildlife photographer and had a son named Hugo. In 1965, Jane was on TV and was on the cover of National Geographic magazine. Today she loves to encourage young people to be kind to animals and keep our earth clean!
This past month's book report assignment was a lot of fun for my oldest daughter! For the month of September 2010, my daughter had to research and read a couple biographies on a world hero. In addition, she had to dress up like her hero and present her book report in front of the class! Last year she had to do an American hero, which as you may remember was Laura Ingalls Wilder. She was very excited to do a world hero this year because for a couple years she has admired Jane Goodall because of all the great research she has done on chimpanzees, monkeys, apes etc. We video taped her book report and would like to share it with those who were not there to see it! She was the first one to present her book report and did an outstanding job(full credit)! Way to go, girlie!
