Mary had her final fieldtrip for 2nd grade yesterday. We went to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. It was alot of fun and a wonderful day. The weather was perfect and the children were great. When we got there aroung 9:30am we went on a scavenger hunt. I had control of 5 of the children for the scavenger hunt. All the children were split up into small groups to look for about 40 different things throughout the gardens. We found all of our items . We had an hour to find it before we had to meet back a the meeting point to do the second part of the day. At 10:30am we met with two ladies from the gardens to learn the science and animal part of the gardens. The did a little story telling part and then sent the children in small groups on a little area of the gardens to find items they had placed in the park for the children to find that went along with what they told the children. Then we met back with them a few minutes later to talk about what we found and draw a picture of our favorite thing we found. Mary loved this. Then we all had a picnic and explored the gardens for another hou or two. After the picnic I treid to get Mary to leave and go to Brookwood Village for some girl time, but she didn't want to. But altogether the day was great and we had a wonderful time.
