Busy day!

The day started out with Dan getting up and going to get parts for our refrigerator. To make a long story short, we went out and bought a new refrigerator after I got home from work. Not exactly what we wanted, and yes he did get his money back on the parts he bought.


The fun part of the day was when the aquarium came to my classroom. The last field trip of the year, and yes it is an 'on site' field trip. As you can imagine the children were absolutely delighted, they had been looking forward to this for weeks.
Some of the photos of what they brought.

Except for the anemone (their tentacle's are poisonous when they sting) they were allowed to touch everything. The photos don't show the hermit crabs or other shell snail type critters.
We took them back in groups of 4-5. It was delightful. 3 parents showed up for the event. It was very interactive, which is good with 4/5 year olds. After they left we went outside and let then run for about 30 min. Can you imagine, 4 &5 year olds sitting on the carpet for an hour!!!! Yes, it is amazing they did. Of course they did get to go and see the tide pool animals and there was interaction going on.
