Field Trip!

I went with Sydney on her field trip today. First they got to play in the water table. Which, if I were their age, I wouldn't have left. It did look like fun.

Next was a little educational session about "creepy crawlies". They got to look at a millworm, a beetle and a millipede (all yuck!), and then she put a big fat nightcrawler on their tray.

There was also a wet papertowel on the tray and the kids were given flashlights to shine on the nightcrawler to get him to think that was the sun. Since they like, cold, damp, dark places, the idea was that the kids would force him into the papertowel. It worked!

After that little bit of fun, we headed to the theater to watch a movie about animals. It was really cool too. Then we ate lunch and it was over. I had signed up to take Sydney home with me and would you believe she didn't want to go? She wanted to go back to school and then to daycare to play with her friends. Well, I guess I see where I stand. It's already started.
