Family Friday

SPRING BREAK IS HERE!!  WOOHOO!!  In honor of the first day of Spring Break, we slept in and stayed in our PJs!  So since we didn't do anything blog-worthy today, I will tell you about the fun things we did and learned while on Little Man's Field Trip.


He took the school bus to (and I met them at) the Downtown Waterfront Park for some Science Stuff.  

They broke up into partners and studied tree bark,

and growth rings.

Then we moved on to the pier and talked about a river's ecosystem.

They got to (carefully!) grab some of that ecosystem

and look at what they found using a simple microscope (after some instructions and a few words of warning, of course).

Then they moved on to a relay race that illustrated the concept of transfer of energy.

After lunch, they loaded up and headed to the movie theater to see The Lorax!!

What a fun day!!
