  • Sculpture of Tacoma's Beloved Ivan Will Help Tell the Story of Critically
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Oct. 26, 2016 SCULPTURE OF TACOMA’S BELOVED IVAN WILL HELP TELL THE STORY OF CRITICALLY ENDANGERED GORILLAS AS THEIR NUMBERS DWINDLE IN THE WILD Lifelike 600-pound bronze statue unveiled Wednesday morning in Point Defiance Park Tacoma, Wash. – A new 600-pound ambassador for critically endangered gorillas now stands in Point Defiance Park near the entrance to Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. The larger- than-life sculpture of Tacoma’s beloved Ivan, cherished by generations of residents in the Puget Sound region, was unveiled Wednesday morning during a ceremony that stressed the perils of poaching and habitat loss the species faces in Africa. Jodi Carrigan, assistant curator of primates at Zoo Atlanta, with the just-unveiled sculpture of Ivan, a western lowland gorilla, in Point Defiance Park Wednesday morning. She was among the zookeepers who cared for Ivan and got to know the gorilla well. “Thanks to individuals like Ivan, who make special connections with us and leave us with such lasting impressions, we hope we will never face the extinction of western lowland gorillas,” said Jodi Carrigan, assistant curator of primates at Zoo Atlanta. “As we celebrate him and impact he’s made, we realize the enormous capacity he has had to change our own lives for the better. He helped us better understand the species that share our planet. And I know he will continue to live on as a powerful ambassador for gorillas everywhere.” Carrigan was among the people who knew the gentle gorilla best, having spent several years caring for him after he joined the gorilla family in Zoo Atlanta’s award-winning habitat.

  • Welcome to Grade 4
    WELCOME TO GRADE 4 Summer Reading Read and write answers to questions for The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate a biography from the “Who Was….?” Series, and a historical fiction book from the “I Survived” series. The reading books have been provided as well as notebooks. The questions are to be answered in notebook provided. Books and completed notebooks must be brought back the first day of school. Note: Scholars cannot possibly read enough at this age, so additional reading of any kind is expected I am not concerned with what other books are read and there are no additional writing assignments on these books. I just want your scholar to read. The benefits of that are tremendous. Math iXL The goal for iXL would be to average around 30 minutes a week during the summer on Math. The brain is a muscle and needs to stay working. A dormant summer will hurt scholar growth enormously. Scholars should work on any 3rd grade skills on iXL skills that they did not master/complete this year. Please do not work on 4th grade skills. Math Facts Have your scholars practice, practice, practice and then practice some more. Almost everything we do in Math in 4th grade is related to the basic multiplication facts from 0-12. If your scholar has these facts memorized, they will have a much easier time succeeding in Math next year. I cannot stress this enough. I have given the scholars flash cards to use for practicing. Supply List Plenty of #2 pencils (not mechanical), that is it.

  • The One and Only Ivan Activity Packet
    © 2020 Disney © 2020 Disney n adaptation of the award-winning book about one very special Agorilla, Disney’s “The One and Only Ivan” is an unforgettable tale about the beauty of friendship, the power of visualization and the significance of the place one calls home. Ivan is a 400-pound silverback gorilla who shares a communal habitat in a suburban shopping mall with Stella the elephant and Bob the dog. He has few memories of the jungle where he was captured, but when a baby elephant named Ruby arrives, it touches something deep within him. Ruby is recently separated from her family in the wild, which causes him to question his life, where he comes from and where he ultimately wants to be. The heartwarming adventure, which comes to the screen in an impressive hybrid of live-action and CGI, is based on Katherine Applegate’s bestselling book, which won numerous awards upon its publication in 2013, including the Newbery Medal. 2 © 2020 Disney CONTENTS Acknowledgements Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment would like to take 4 this opportunity to thank the amazing teams that came together to develop “The One and Only Ivan” Activity Packet. It was created with great care, collaboration and the talent and hard work of many incredible individuals. A special thank you to Dr. Mark Penning for 5 his ongoing support in developing engaging educational content that connects families with nature. These materials would not have happened without the diligence and dedication of Kyle Huetter who worked side by side with the filmmakers to help create these compelling activities.

  • Heterochrony in Chimpanzee and Bonobo Spatial Memory Development
    Rosati Alexandra (Orcid ID: 0000-0002-6906-7807) Heterochrony in chimpanzee and bonobo spatial memory development Alexandra G. Rosati Correspondence Departments of Psychology and Anthropology University of Michigan 530 Church St Ann Arbor, MI 48109 [email protected] Keywords: Comparative cognition; spatial cognition; life history; ecology; apes Funding information: This work was supported by an L.S.B. Leakey Foundation, and AGR was supported by NIA R01AG04395. Figures and tables: 5 Black-and-white figures, 2 tables This is the author manuscript accepted for publication and has undergone full peer review but has not been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process, which may lead to differences between this version and the Version of Record. Please cite this article as doi: 10.1002/ajpa.23833 This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. Abstract Objectives: The emergence of human-unique cognitive abilities has been linked to our species’ extended juvenile period. Comparisons of cognitive development across species can provide new insights into the evolutionary mechanisms shaping cognition. This study examined the development of different components of spatial memory, cognitive mechanisms that support complex foraging, by comparing two species with similar life history that vary in wild ecology: bonobos (Pan paniscus) and chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Materials and Methods: Spatial memory development was assessed using a cross- sectional experimental design comparing apes ranging from infancy to adulthood. Study 1 tested 73 sanctuary-living apes on a task examining recall of a single location after a one-week delay, compared to an earlier session. Study 2 tested their ability to recall multiple locations within a complex environment.

  • Ivan (2012) by Katherine Applegate
    Letter Home to Families for The One and Only Ivan (2012) by Katherine Applegate Dear Parent/Guardian: Adlai Stevenson is about to take part in a special, community wide shared reading event. Every family will receive a copy of the same book – The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate – and will be asked to read it together at home over the next few months. I am personally asking you to make the time so that your family can participate in this special activity. We will be reading this book starting November 16th and finishing the week of January 11th. Reading aloud at home is valuable because it better prepares your child to be an effective reader, and it is also a fun, worthwhile family activity. With this program, we aim to build a Community of Readers at our school. Everyone – students, parents, teachers, even administrative staff – will all be following along together. Your child received a copy of The One and Only Ivan during book pick up. Along with the book, you received tips for parents and a reading schedule so that you can keep up at home. You also received a bag of other Ivan related activities and information. Generally, you will be asked to read about 10-15 minutes each night. In school, your child will be invited to answer weekly trivia questions to encourage and reward attentive listening. You will be given access to a Microsoft form to fill out on Friday. You will soon find that your child will take pride in knowing and anticipating the details of the story.
