Yesterday we went on our field trip to the zoo and it was definitely wild! Most of my babies had never been on a bus, so before we even left the school parking lot I must have heard, "Mrs. Alexander, THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!" at least 10 times! As you can imagine, their excitement and enthusiasm only grew from there!
Once at the zoo (along with several bathroom breaks and the all important lunch) we got to see all kinds of cool animals....
the cougars,
the leopard,
And many, many more!
It was such a great experience for the students since many of them had never been to the zoo before. I was happy that they got the chance to see so many different animals and even happier that my parent volunteers and I were able to keep track of 21 VERY excited 4 and 5 year olds the entire time.
When we got back to school, we took a much needed nap and then did a quick writing activity reflect on our favorite part of the day.
