Spirit Day #8- Bedroom Slipper Day

For our final Spirit Day of the year, students were asked to wear a pair of their favorite bedroom slippers. Students (and Ms. Van Sickle) had so much fun walking around school in our cozy shoes.

National Zoo Field Trip

For our second field trip, we traveled to Washington D.C.'s National Zoo. Although it poured in the morning, the day turned out to be a nice one! Students were excited to see all of the different animals at the zoo. Each student was encouraged to visit the "Amazonia" exhibit in preparation for our upcoming unit on rainforests.

Here is an elephant taking a swim in a pool. He went completely under the water; trunk and all!

Splashing nearby people :)

Blue Crabs Baseball Game Field Trip

For our first field trip of the year, we traveled to the Blue Crabs stadium to see a baseball game. The weather was perfect and the game was a blast! We really enjoyed seeing the Blue Crabs win the game, too!
