Field Trip

This week we ventured out of the classroom on our field trip to The Academy of Natural Sciences.  We got to see many animals.  We even got to pet a bunny, a turtle and a hissing cockroach (but only if we wanted to.)



We learned about dinosaurs and what kind of dinosaurs were carnivores or herbivores.  Then we got to pretend we were archaelogists and we dug through rock to find fossils.

To wrap up our trip, we went into the butterfly room.  We saw several kinds of butterflies just flying around our heads.  I think a lucky few got the butterflies to land on them.



Later that day we got a special visit from an author and photographer, Michael Patrick O'Neill.  He showed us some great photographs taken underwater. The students were engaged and asked some great questions.  


It was a fun week.  Don't forget, tomorrow is Fun Day for our town.  Hope to see you all there.
