Emmie's Kindergarten Field Trip

Emmie's class went to the zoo today. Clay, Scott and Annie were all able to go with her. The zoo is an animal sanctuary for injured and mistreated animals of all sorts. There are mountain lions, bobcats, tigers, bears, wolves, monkeys and a lot more. Emmie's favorite as well as the favorite of many of the other children was the feral cat enclosure. I couldn't believe Emmie wanted to go back and see the cats of all the animals that were there. I thought for sure when she said kitties she meant the mountain lions! The kids had fun at the park next door also. They were trying to get as dizzy as they could. Mrs. Nicholson won't be returning to the school next year so the kids made her a scrapbook and a quilt and presented it to her at the end of the day. She was so surprised. Somehow the kids, with a couple of parents helping, managed to do it without her knowing a thing even though she was there the whole time!What a great day (despite the looks on their faces)!

Clay's Preschool Field Trip

This is the great preschool we have at our elementary. Miss Tamara has worked so hard to make it a place where the kids always want to come but unfortunately, never want to leave.

The kids in the preschool were most excited about riding the bus.

There were 6 kids crammed into 2 seat on a giant school bus. They have so much fun together they didn't want to spread out. How exciting to go for a ride without seat belts!
They went to the local pizza place and learned how to make pizza. Then they did get to eat some.
Miss Tamara was so nice she even took them to the local park for a change of scenery. She brought the colorful parachute which turned out to be the most fun part of the day.
