Whew, I've almost made it! One more field trip to go :) Today we took Carlie's class to the Nature Center at Cooks Lake, which is about 2 miles from our house! Carlie and I had never been down there, so it was something different for us.
Terrible picture of me, but it's good of Carlie :)
Camryn and Carlie in the classroom
Mrs. Treva with a frozen rattlesnake!
They had to pretend they were amphibians and were going to hunt for food!
They had little plastic toys that represented either things that amphibians would eat, or things that would eat the amphibians. I found a dinosaur! In this very pile of leaves and stumps, Carlie almost stepped on a baby copperhead! I was completely freaked out. She just froze in her tracks. It was the most excitement we saw all day!
Carlie and Camryn playing a game in the pavillion
Making water cycle bracelets.
Carlie was helping Abby get hers on
The group again. They were very well behaved on this trip. I was proud of them!
I have no idea what these silly girls were doing!
Back in the classroom, we worked on a scavenger hunt puzzle.
TEAM WORK!! Did I mention it was also a race?!
The winning team,Stephen, David, Mica, Katie, and Carlie !!
The last thing they did was look at different stuff through the microscopes.
Some things were dead, some were alive.. and moving!
Carlie really got into this!
Overall, I think the kids had fun. The lectures got a little long at times, and seriously, I almost fell asleep a time or two, but it was fun to hang out with friends, and maybe learn a little something in the process!
"A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother."
