A field trip to Hogle Zoo
On May 25 I accompanied Dominic and his kindergarten class on a field trip to Hogle Zoo.
We left the school at 9 a.m. and stayed at the zoo till 1. Everyone brought a sack lunch for food.
Each parent was assigned a few kids to chaperone. Dominic and I explored with his friend, Atiba. I think we walked past all the animals at least three times. And I think I was calling out one of the boys’ names at least every other minute. We had a challenging time sticking together – so many fun things to see and explore.
Dominic loved seeing all the animals and pretty much knew the names of each of them. He was a little afraid of the large animatronic dinosaur, and Atiba was scared of the snakes and spiders, but other than that they were completely enthralled.
