The Whales arrived to school and were eager to get on the big yellow school bus. We hopped on with enthusiasm and that excitement stuck with us the entirety of our adventure. The Whales walked around to different stations with their group. They did a layers of the wetlands chalk art project with Ms. Aimee. They looked at near and far distances and what that might look like in landscape art. Check out their landscape art hanging in the classroom. While at the art station they also got to see a goose egg that was left behind in the grass. They visited Ms. Stacey, and looked through scopes to see different birds at the Wetlands. They saw a Scrub Jay, Cinnamon Teal, Killdeer, Canada Geese, Cackling Geese, and even an Anna’s Hummingbird! WOW! They used the Merlin Bird ID app on iPads to explore through sounds what birds were around them. We heard Red-Winged Blackbirds, Song Sparrows, Geese, American Crows, American Robins, Black Capped Chickadees, and so so much more! They even had time to explore the Wetlands freely with their group. Some groups chose to get close to the water and look for newts, and other water animals. Other groups walked around the entire wetlands and saw a Great Blue Heron. The Whales saw, heard, and explored so much! We couldn’t have asked for a better trip! A huge thank you to all of our parent volunteers for leading groups around and taking some great photos! We appreciate you all so so so much!
