Second Grade Field Trip


The second graders visited Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington to conclude their study of animals in science.  Prior to the visit, each student researched one of five animals and wrote a report.  They typed their reports and then presented them at the zoo while being led by teachers and chaperones through a scavenger hunt of the entire zoo.  It was a fun-filled learning experience!
