Field Trips

One of the things I wanted to do when I started homeschooling was to take the kids on lots and lots of field trips.  Well, there have not been many at all.  We are a busy bunch and carving out the 3-4 hours to do something can be hard sometimes.  So today we went to the zoo.  Jackson had a small assignment while we were there.  He took his creative writing journal and wrote down the animals that he saw and either a characteristic of that animal or what the animal was doing, ie: The lion was sleeping.  Here are some pics!

 Char loved the meerkats.

Ellie and a huge turtle.

This was the best we could do.  It was the end of the day and Char had had enough!
