1st Grade Fieldtrip

Tanner's 1st grade fieldtrip was to the zoo. He was so excited to go, and the week before his homework assignment was to find an animal from the zoo, and learn all about it. He had a difficult time choosing but finally settled on the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake. We had fun reading about it and finding pictures. We wrote a paper and then we made a poster about it with 5 facts about the snake.
He lucked out and got a beautiful day to go to the zoo. He loved telling us all about the animals he saw.
This past Monday I was able to go to his classroom and we heard all about the animals that each one of his classmates learned about. They could dress up as their animal and we walked around the classroom and got to push their button and have them tell us some of the interesting facts on their animal. It was such a cute idea and I think each of the kids had a great time sharing their knowledge.
