Today was the day my little superheros have been waiting for for weeks! ZOO DAY! I was just as excited (perhaps a little more) as my kids were. I love field trips, and am very blessed to be among the dwindling number of schools that still has them. It was a great to watch our kids have this great experience. Many of them have been to the zoo (several times), but they have never been with their friends. It was great to see them "show each other around" and to hear all about the awesome animals they saw.
The highlight, however, was the bus ride. My little John Tesh raises his hand and says "Ms. S, did you know, I have never been on a bus before?" Of course this sparks a chorus of "me, too" and "neither have I"s. 2 out of 20 friends in our class ride the bus to and from school, so this was a novel expereince for most of our class. They were in a state of pure bliss during the bus ride. Seeing Dunkin Donuts was almost better than seeing the zoo. Who'd a thought?
