Our long awaited field trip was this week. We attended The Academy of Natural Sciences. Our first stop was my favorite, the butterfly room.
After receiving instructions from our guide, we wandered into the butterfly room to find many, many butterflies fluttering around. A few lucky students were able to get a butterfly to land on them.
Then we explored the museum to find many animals. Of course you could probably guess my favorite.
Then we were off to the "Big Dig" where we tried our hand at becoming paleontologists.
Our last fun experience at the museum was "Outside In". We got to pet a rat (eww!), a hissing cockroach and a diamondback terrapin.
All in all, we had a great time. I think the students enjoyed their time and it was a fun and educational experience.
