Great Field Trip

It was a great morning down at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary! It was pretty chilly for our nature walk and we cut our time outside down because of the cold. I'm so proud of how well the kids did despite the wind chill- they were troopers! Many chickadees were very interested in what we were doing out there! Inside the sanctuary, students had the opportunity to learn about how animals have adaptations that help them to survive the elements. Hibernation, Migration and Adaptations were the key ideas discussed. The main building of Inglewood is full of interesting animal information and even has examples of these birds and animal bodies/replicas for students to see up close. In our program, the classes got to feel coyote and muskrat fur as well as examine bird skull replicas to identify differences in beaks based on what the bird uses its beak to do. I'm sure your child is tired tonight- field trips are so exciting but can be tiring!
