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 :)
