Dallas Heritage Village Field Trip

Last Thursday we visited Dallas Heritage Village. The students were able to see how people lived in the past. They viewed an old school, hotel, house, bank, and a blacksmith. They visited gardens and observed animals such as chickens, sheep, and donkeys. It was rewarding to see how excited they were about history! Thank you to PTA for making this trip financially possible and to the parents who took a day from work to help us chaperone.

OMNI Field Trip

In March we visited The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History to view the film The Living Sea at their OMNI Theater. The film summarized and showcased many of the ocean animals we researched in Reading, the bodies of water and landforms we studied in Social Studies, and the pull of the moon we studied in Science.

Nature Center Field Trip

Friday we had a field trip to the district's Nature Center. The students participated in four outdoor learning lessons. We visited the pond to identify living and non-living objects. Next we visited the gardens to view various plants and record their names alphabetically. We then went on a nature walk to record what we could hear, see, feel, and smell. Last, we measured the circumference of a tree and learned about various types of trees.

SeaLife Aquarium Field Trip

At the conclusion of our ocean study, we were fortunate to be able to visit the SeaLife Aquarium in Grapevine. Thank you to our PTA for funding this fun trip for the students and to all of the parents who went on the trip with us. The students were able to see the live animals that we had researched.

Casa Manana Field Trip

As a conclusion to our Language Arts lessons on comparing versions of Cinderella, our class visited Casa Manana in Fort Worth to watch their new production of Cinderella. The students seemed to really enjoy the play. Following the play we went to a local park to have a picnic and play for a few minutes. Enjoy the quick pictures from the field trip.
