First Field Trip of the Year!

The first graders at Sissy's school went on a field trip to the University of North Florida to learn more about insects.  They've been studying about them in science class and this was an opportunity to learn about them, their environment, etc.

Some days I'd swear these two are connected at the hip!

At this station they were identifying different insects in the container of water

Getting a closer look

Recording their findings

Measuring insects and comparing sizes

Taking a hike with the UNF guide - learning about the eco system

Answering the riddles on the hike

She had a fantastic time on the field trip.  They learned a lot and had a good time being outside and having Momma along.  Afterwards, she and her BFF had a playdate until the big brothers got out of school.  I love that after a field trip I can take her home with me instead of sending her back to school!  I'm thankful I am able to attend these trips with her and be a part of her learning experiences.
