A Battig Kind Of Life: First Grade Field Trip

Emmalee went on a field trip to John Ball Park Zoo on Thursday! She was so excited to be there and for me to join her class. I wasn't a chaperon but I was so thankful that I went because the chaperone's in my opinion were given too many kids. The group Emmalee was in had six kids in it. Each group was like this and the teacher had no kids. The kids were all excited and they I think were a bit overwhelmed as well. They were running wild. The chaperon and I made a joke about the bear that was trying to get out the door to his enclosure. We thought he might be saying "Let me out! Let me out! It's like a ZOO out there!!!"

Overall though we had a really nice time. Kevin and I really love the zoo and we really enjoy taking our kids there. Seeing and learning about animals that we simply do not see every day but are living in the wild somewhere on our beautifully constructed planet!

They had to fill out sheets that told if the animals they seen were mammals or not mammals! We were asked over and over again by all the kids if each animal layed eggs.
