Field Trip!

I haven't been able to go on one of Kendra's field trips since she was in kindergarten, so it was particularly fun when my class took our first field trip this year!  We went to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History on the Tuesday right before the Thanksgiving break.  The museum also has an Omni theater and we went to see a movie called Under the Sea first.  Kendra was a little nervous...

 They had a really neat Egyptian exhibit with mummies, ancient pottery, and of course the camel photo-op.

 The kids really enjoyed the dino exhibit area, too.  Kendra is measuring a "fossil" here, although I'm thinking she's not too accurate considering she folded the measuring tape in half first.  Just sayin'.

 Good thing there are giant dino prints around for when you get tired and need to relax a bit.

 Look closely at this one.  I took it while Kendra was hula-hooping. You can see the hoop spinning!  Cool!

 Kendra and her pals M and K on the bus ride back to school.  Such cute girlies. 

I think my team is the smartest bunch of teachers around.  Taking a field trip the day before a holiday break is exactly the thing to do!  MUCH better than trying to wrangle squirrelly kiddos in a 20' x 20' classroom all day long, that's for sure!  Made the day go quickly and we all had a lot of fun.  And bonus!  I got to go with Kendra on a field trip again!  Yay!
