At the end of each school year, first grade learns about animals. We studied mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, arachnids, and insects. Each student wrote a report on their favorite animal. This week students presented their animal reports to the class and then we went to the zoo to see many of the animals we studied in person. We got a private tour of the elephant housing. We had a wonderful tour guide that talked about how they care for the elephants. We even got a chance to stand inside of one of their bedrooms :) First graders loved seeing the monkeys. They were so cute and were very friendly. They sat in their hammock right in front of the window and walked up to the window to say hello. The new tiger cubs were pretty sleepy but so so so so cute as the first graders would say. The red wolves were pretty funny. Sam played fetch with one and another was responding to the students as they were howling. We had a great time on our field trip and we are so thankful for the volunteers who joined us at the Point Defiance Zoo.

| We were so lucky to have such a nice tour guide to show us the elephants home! |

| Do you see the red wolf perched on the trunk? He jumped up there when we came up to him. |

| We love our volunteers! Andrew and him mom taking a break. |
At the end of the field trip, some of us started to get tired of walking. We had one more stop to make which was the sharks. All the girls and David decided they wanted a snack and to rest while all the boys and Sam wanted to see the sharks. Mrs. Price, Mrs. Jay, and Yenny took them to the sharks while Mrs. Turnipseed and I took these friends to the playground for a rest and snack. Most of the time they wanted their pictures taken...hehe.
That is a wrap! What a fun day! Time to go back to school :)

| These boys were pretty silly on the car ride home! Thank you Mrs. Turnipseed for driving us! |

| These kids were listening to music and watching a movie while Mrs. Turnipseed and I chatted. |
