Our Class is GREEN!!

April 22, 2010
Our class had such an Earth friendly day. We read the stories Micheal Recycle, The Lorax, and Our Class is Green to learn about ways we can keep our Earth clean. We learned to always throw our trash in a trashcan, use canvas bags instead of plastic bags at the grocery store, turn off the lights and the electricity when we are not using it, and to close the doors so that the cold air does not get out. Below you can see pictures of the canvas bags we made together. Enjoy!

What an EGGTASTIC day

We had such a fun afternoon finding our eggs and grouping them. Thank you to one of our 'hoppity' helper parents for providing all of the Easter eggs!!! WOW!!

Jacksonville Zoo Here We Come...

About to go see the apes

Our second field trip was to the Jacksonville Zoo. It was a day filled with excited students, beautiful weather, and animals of course! There were stunning birds flying right over our heads, monkeys playing on tightropes, jaguars pacing back and forth, and lions resting in the shade. I was very excited to see the giraffes. What was your favorite animal that you were able to see?
Not only did we get to walk around the zoo, we were also able to hear a wonderful and educational presentation. We learned about how to keep the environment safe for animals by cutting can holders and tying plastic bags in a knot. We even got to pet a chinchilla, hen, and snake. Leave a comment about your favorite part of going to the zoo!
