Koalas

Today we learned about Koalas. We learned that they are native to Australia. They are NOT bears but marsupials, which means they have a pouch where the tiny newborns develop. A baby Koala is called a joey and the size of jellybean when born. They eat leaves and almost nothing else. Koalas have sharp claws which help them climb trees. They have think woolly fur that protects them from both heat and cold.

 

Then the children made a cute newspaper Koala.
