field trip fun in fourth grade


Nick and best buddy, Malik, at BNSF
Burlington Northern Santa Fe (railroad headquarters here near our home)

 Nick's two awesome teachers and myself. We had a great time on field trips and in class this year. Great educators and fun ladies!

 Measuring heat/coldness in ground and above ground
Looking at pond life through a microscope

 Observing and drawing nature scenes...
 Each elementary in our district has a plot of land to start planting bright flowers for this "butterfly garden"...we have found some gorgeously, bright flowers plants for our yard that bring lots of butterflies our way--
 We went to see a play called Deep in the Heart and it was a musical about the history and famous folks of Texas...really, really entertaining! We loved it! (and learned a lot)


I love going on field trips with my kids; this time passes so quickly...and I am soaking up all the shared trips, lunches, and games that we attend with and for our kids. I am going to have severe withdrawls in the near future--when our kids are in high school and we barely see them...I don't even want to talk about college out of state...
