📚 A Powerful Moment to Start Your Week

Lesson Plan #27

Happy Monday morning!

This week, we’re sharing a video that might just stop your classroom in its tracks—in the best possible way.

At the Sedgwick County Zoo, a chimpanzee named Mahale recently gave birth via C-section. Because of the surgery, she had to be separated from her baby overnight. The next morning, after 14 hours apart, keepers gently brought the newborn to her. What happened next was nothing short of incredible. Watch the incredible moment! 👇

Two years ago, this mama chimp lost her baby to a tragic accident. On Monday, she gave birth again—but was separated for 14 hours after surgery. This is the moment she saw her baby for the first time. 🥹❤️

The video shows the exact moment Mahale sees her baby for the first time. You’ll see confusion turn to recognition, then an overwhelming wave of love. It’s quiet, emotional and very real.

If you’re looking for a way to start the week with empathy, connection and maybe even a few goosebumps, this is it.
