Willow Park Field Trip

This year we are trying to incorporate more field trips into our pre-school. On Thursday of last week, we took all of the kids to the Stokes Nature Center at Willow Park Zoo. They had a zoo worker come and talk to the kids about different types of animals. She had a macaw, hedgehog, snake and an iguana there for the kids to see and touch. Some of the kids were scared to touch the snake, but not Christopher! He was the first one up to pet it! (no, I will never let him have one as a pet) All the kids loved the hedgehog, who looked like a little spikey ball. It would only pop it's head out when the zookeeper put him in a pool of water. After our lesson, we let the kids walk through the zoo and play at the playground. It was a great fieldtrip!

Hey lady, where are you taking my iguana?
