Thursday’s field trip was
very fascinating not only for the kids but also for me! I learned a lot about
animals that I never knew before. It was a really cool field trip because it
was a lot of hands-on. The children got to feel all sorts of animals from
different types of birds’ feathers, a twisted tail lizard, a box turtle, a
snake, a ferret, and a big fluffy bunny! Our yellow crew traveled to 3 different rooms to look at mammals, birds, and reptiles.
It's very impressive how the kids showed off to our tour guide, Daniel, all the things we learned this week about animals. What smart cookies they are!
Did you know the reason why a
box turtle has its name is because when an enemy is near; the turtle can hide
in its shell and use a part of its bottom part by its head to close off the
shell as a shield? It boxes out predators.
Also, you can predict the age of a turtle by looking at the number of rings on its shell.
