WE HAD A FABULOUS FIELD TRIP MONDAY WITH THE KINDERGARTEN CLASSES. WE TOOK A BUS TO MURFREESBORO TO THE DISCOVERY SCIENCE CENTER. LOTS OF MOMS WENT AND EVEN SOME DADS. THE CLASSES GOT TO LEARN ABOUT MAMMALS, BIRDS, AND REPTILES IN A DEMONSTRATION WHERE THEY GOT TO SEE AND TOUCH A MINIATURE OWL, A SNAKE, AND A RABBIT. THEY THEN WENT TO A ROOM AND LEARNED ABOUT THE WATER CYCLE AND SANG A SONG. THEY GOT TO EXPERIMENT IN A HUGE WATER AREA AND PLAY. IT WAS ON TO SHADOW PUPPETS AND FINALLY TO THE TENNESSEE FOSSIL ZONE. THEY EXAMINED DIFFERENT PLANT AND ANIMAL FOSSILS AND THEN PARTICIPATED IN A MINI FOSSIL DIG. IT WAS GREAT. WE ALSO GOT TO EXPLORE A GIANT SNAPPING TURTLE. AFTER THE TOUR THE KIDS WERE ALLOWED 40 MINUTES OF FREE PLAY TIME. WE WENT UPSTAIRS TO DISCOVER MORE ROOMS AND ZONES TO PLAY IN. THERE WERE TRAINS, READING NOOKS, A HANDS ON PROJECT WITH SIMPLE MACHINES, A GROCERY AREA, AN ART AREA, A PLAYHOUSE, A HUGE 2 STORY SLIDE THAT CAME DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE CENTER. THAT WAS MILES' FAVORITE FOR SURE. WE WANT TO GO AGAIN AS A FAMILY SO THAT LUKE CAN EXPERIENCE IT AS WELL. WE ATE LUNCH ON THE RETURN BUS TRIP AND THEN IT WAS TIME TO GO HOME. I AM SO GLAD THAT I COULD BE A PART OF IT.
