alice-teacher Interactive zoo- Wendy Please Repost

[Angela Maxwell]

Hello,
I am new to Alice, and have an extremely bright 5th grade student that
might do well with this project. Wendy, would you be able to resend your
files so that I could try it out with him? I will share anything we come up
with as well. Thanks!
