Field Trip!!!

For some reason this post only showed one picture and the rest went missing....i'm re-posting it so you can see the whole post :)

This past week i had the privilege of going with Emma's class on a field trip to Durant Nature Park!

I went to Durant Nature Park when I was in elementary school and it was fun going back to see that not much had changed!!!

There are 27 kiddos in her class so the help was greatly appreciated :)

We got to "sweep" for bugs then examine them in jars...

while Mr. Connor told us all about bugs, snakes and other insects!!!

We were even able to see a Monarch butterfly that had just emerged from it's cocoon minutes before we arrived!

On the way to the pond we saw a giant praying mantis!

After a pond demonstration with “Mrs. Kim” we were able to use nets and explore the pond looking for clams, dragonfly nymphs, tadpoles and so much more pond life...

The kiddos had a blast, no one got hurt, only a few kiddos got wet (feet only) and I even learned some things about insects and bugs that I didn't know! It was a fun day especially because I got to hang out with Emma :)
