Reptile Guy Visits First Graders

Michael Shwedick, Reptile Guy, visited the Mary Kay McMillin Early Childhood Center and introduced our First Graders to the fascinating world of reptiles.
One of America’s leading reptile wildlife educators, Michael returned to our school for the second year thanks to funding provided by the Berkeley Heights Education Foundation.
The Reptile World program provided children with the opportunity to meet an interesting selection of live, large, colorful, and gentle reptiles from all over the world. The children enjoyed discovering what reptiles are, what makes them different from birds and mammals, and how important they are in our environment.
Banana Split , an albino snake, was a highlight of the program for both children and adults!
