Welcome back! We hope you all enjoying a long weekend, time with family, and the Thanksgiving holiday. While we are sure you heard many a story from our exciting trip to Discovery Place last Tuesday, we wanted to share a few pictures with you.
Our first stop was the Rain Forest Exhibit, where we were able to share our knowledge regarding the different layers of the rain forest, and where we were able to learn a bit more from Mr. Stevens. We were both very impressed and proud of all the information our second graders have retained! We were also given the chance to see and feel what a real rain forest is like -- "It's SO humid!," we heard as we opened the doors to exhibit. And it sure was! We spotted many different animals, saw plants reaching tall into the canopy layer, and were excited to make our learning visible.
What's a visit to Discovery Place without a little fun upstairs? Following a viewing of Rat Basketball (Go Blue!), we spent a while playing together on the many different machines and in the stations set up for exploration and learning. We enjoyed seeing this class work together, play together, and laugh together. It set us up just perfectly for the break!
More fun awaits -- and the haul to Christmas begins!
