Field trips

The boys have each had field trips recently, and I was able to participate on both trips.

Last Thursday, Austin's class went to the Children's Museum and to the local TV station (I forgot my camera, so I do not have pictures of this trip). At the Museum we talked about animals and how they adapt to weather changes. At the TV station we were able to talk to one of the meteorologists. She told us about her job and what she does. Then she let each of the children go to the green screen and hold up a green piece of material. They enjoyed watching themselves "disappear." Since the Children's museum is next door to the TV station, we went back and had some time to play and explore the museum.

Today, Adam's class went to the fire station, I did remember my camera this time.

They showed the children how the firefighters get dressed. Then he let each of the the children touch his uniform.

We were able to go see the firetrucks. They explained about the different parts that were on the truck.

He is showing the kids one of the nozzles that he has.

Each child got to walk through the front of the truck to see what that looked like.

As we were leaving, they turned the lights on the truck on for us.

The kids seemed to like both trips.
