First Grade: Day 11

Today is Wonderful Wednesday and it’s also the first field trip of the year!

Isabel’s class got to go on the “Howdy Tour” at the fair. It sounds like she had a lot of fun!

The highlight of her day was the Rain-forest Exhibit, which is new to the fair this year. The kids entered the building by sliding down a slide (the adults had to go through the door)! When she slide down the slide she thought she was going to end up in a pool of water with the alligator, so she went down slow. Inside the Rain-forest she saw an alligator, frogs, turtles, parrots and a snake. There were trees too and she got to walk over a bridge, sit on giant mushrooms and explore the whole place on her own! “Momma, we didn’t have to stay in a line, we could walk around on our own, in our own groups.” She said.

The excitement of the Rain-forest made up for not being able to pet any of the animals this year. She did get to see piglets (and hear it squeal), chicks, goats, sheep, chickens, geese, ducks, a turkey, rabbits (albino), horses, a camel, a zebra, and a zebra-donkey. However they didn’t get to see any cows, again this year, the cows don’t arrive until the end of the fair, due to the smell.

With the fair tour taking up so much of their time today, they didn’t get very much work done. She didn’t take about her day in class. Which was totally fine, I enjoyed hearing her talk about the fair tour.
