Beloved, Jane Goodall

Over the past few days we have been learning about the life of researcher, Jane Goodall.
We started learning about Jane a few days ago by reading a book about when she was little:

We also learned that she had a stuffed chimpanzee that she loved, named Jubilee.

Today we read the book The Watcher, which told us more about how Jane accomplished her dream to work with and study chimpanzees.  She traveled to Gombe, Africa.

She was also a writer, and made piles and piles of notes and research in the years she spent researching.  We realized that this is just like how we keep research in our Think Books!

We learned that one of her favorite chimps was named David Greybeard.

However, after many years Jane realized that the chimps were in danger of becoming extinct.  She realized that the best way of helping the chimpanzees was to go across the world to share their story.

Jane Goodall is an excellent example of the 3 A's:  Activism, Awareness, and Aid.  When we work on our inquiries this year, Room 408 will be trying to keep these 3 A's in mind.

What inspires you about Jane Goodall?
