Today was the perfect warm and sunny day to spend at Kualoa Petting Zoo. It was a great place because the docents shared alot of information about the animals. The best part was petting and feeding the goat, cow, horse, rabbit, and sheep. We loved it!

Kualoa Petting Zoo was the best learning trip we had. We got close to and touched a horse, goat, pig, sheep, chickens, and several other animals. It was fun feeding the animals which was a ticklish or sore hands-on experience we will never forget!
Here's what I enjoyed the most at the Petting Zoo:
E.F. - The guinea pig with the red eyes and tan hair cause it was cute
B.S. - The place where the tree branches grew crooked making it like a tunnel since it looked foresty
E.K. - Feeding the chickens grass
T.N. - Feeding the fish in the pond
L.S. - Petting the two bunnies and one hamster
D.M. - The three chicks cause they were fluffy and soft
R.Y. - Petting the three soft chicks
S.H. - Petting the three chicks because they were soft, big, fat, and fluffy
A.K. - Feeding the fish cause they were splashing

There is a great need for the introduction of new values in our society, where bigger is not necessarily better, where slower can be faster, and where less can be more.
The Kindergarten classes had such a wonderful fun-filled day at Kualoa Petting Zoo. We learned about fish, chickens. guinea pigs, goats, pigs, sheep, horses, and cows from the tour guides Aunty Laura and Aunty Leian. The best part was feeding and petting most of these animals and looking at them up close! Maybe we'll have a chance to go to Kualoa again with our classmates or family.
