    Kania Rimu is a goal-setter but more importantly, a go-getter. I met Kania in 2012 while she was in the 9th grade and, she was a very shy and unassuming young lady, very much someone who would blend into the background. In 2015, she is not that girl. As quickly as 2013 rolled in, Kania made a name for herself, by pushing for the chance to take two advanced math classes at the same time. Although this may seem like an easy feat, it is an abnormality at Forest Hills High School.

Upon having Kimorah assigned as my student and before meeting her, I learned that through prior assessments it is established that she is on a C reading level, and in the second grade. When I think of second graders, I think of babies that were just born into this world a couple years ago, but among meeting Kimorah I quickly realized that she is a person in every sense of the word. Kimorah is a 7-year-old extroverted girl, who is expressive and full of personality. Consequently, shyness does not affect her, but to break the ice further I decided to conduct a set of fun activities.

I found this interesting because the Squirrel Monkeys “live together in multi-male/multi-female groups…” (Wikipedia) Tiny in size, these monkeys really enjoyed running around their exhibit and attracted quite a large audience.

  • Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey

    1570 Words  | 7 Pages

    The extant primate species I decided to research is the Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey, scientifically known as Rhinopithecus roxellana. Part of the reason I chose this species was how odd it looks next to other primate species; it has a flat blue face, big lips, and bright orange color. The other reason I chose the species was because I read that it is now an endangered species and was curious about why it has become endangered and how people are trying to change that. I believe it is important to study the golden snub-nosed monkey because looking at how they interact with their environment and with each other may give us a look into how early human ancestors may have acted under similar conditions. Before I get too far into the specifics of my primate I should discuss how it is different from modern humans.

  • Essay On Primate Parenting

    579 Words  | 3 Pages

    Primate parenting is somewhat different than the parenting styles of other mammals. Primates tend to give birth to fewer offspring than other mammals, but become more invested in those offspring. Primates take care of their offspring longer than other mammals, but as a result, these offspring tend to be smarter, more socially complex, and longer living. “By caring for their offspring, providing them with food, and teaching them about social roles and social behavior generally, primates increase the chances of their species’ survival” (170). In addition, Primates tend to care for their young longer because the development period is longer for primates than other mammals, which is also because of their higher intelligence levels in comparison to other animals.
