“My dream zoo is no ordinary zoo. It has no plastic materials that could get animals in danger. It uses all things from the earth.

For the people, I have them in a bubble that moves up and down and they can feel like they are in all the action. and that’s what’s cool about my dream zoo.”

Fourth grade 1st Place

Agnes Hasley
“My dream zoo is fun. It has birds and butterflies. My zoo’s roof is open so that birds can fly around. The butterflies sleep in blue flowers on trees. My zoo’s zookeepers are fairies but the fairies choose if their wings are visible or not. I’m sorry that you came here on national take a nap day, that’s why there is almost no one around! The butterflies get nectar from the flowers, the birds sometimes eat the flowers too. The problem that my zoo solves is: You can be in a space that is made out of nocturnal things. My dream zoo’s walls are made out of rocks and wood. My zooo is partially green because the wall are covered with grass, mossy and vines. You can get food at my dream zoo! The towers with dark green rood are kitchens. The food you can get there is what the birds and the butterflies eat, so for dessert you could get nectar ice cream with rose petals on top. I know it sounds weird, but it tastes really good. My dream zoo has a moat around it so you can get water, and the birds can take a bath. I hope you like my dream zoo come back when it’s not national take a nap day!”

Fourth grade 2nd Place

3rd Overall

Virginia Dewitt
“For my zoo I really wanted a place where you would feel like you were in a magic world. So naturally, I made a mythical animal sanctuary in the sky. You could interact with the animals, and to get there you were flown up by a carriage pulled by a pegasus. I wanted this sanctuary to be a place that you would remember forever, and a place where the creatures would like their best lives. Overall, I think project sky sanctuary was a complete success! I hope you agree.”
