Towards the end of the school year for her, she had a 1st grade field trip to a park called Cool Creek Park. It has a nature preserve and trails to play on. It was a GREAT field trip!! The 1st graders from her school were the only ones there so it wasn't crowded at all. That was the best part! I was lucky enough to be a driver for the field trip. It was good, I got to enjoy the field trip and get paid for it! The first activity on the field trip was a bug catch bingo game. Connie caught the first bug. It was a butterfly. Here are some pictures.
Here's a picture of Connie and some of her class listening to this wonderful naturalist talk about land turtles. She was very good at what she does. She managed to keep a whole class of 1st graders focused on her for 1/2 an hour about a turtle. She was awesome!!
This is Connie painting a cast of an animal print. It was a rabbit. She used the clues from some parents to guess that and she was the only one to guess correctly on the first shot! A little detective.
Like Kyler, Connie also enjoyed the Christofferson children. KayLynn (I'm not sure I spelled that correctly) and Connie played wonderfully together. We were a little surprised as they are both pretty dramatic little girls, but apparently they had just enough in common. They had a lot of fun!!
