Ken took his class to his parents farm on a field trip, to observe and study the wetlands. There is a man made irrigation lake next to their house full of all kinds of critters. I took Sam and Andrew two years ago but Sam doesn't even remember. This year we added Luke to the mix although he didn't last long, and preferred to go back to Grandma's house to play in the toyroom with her cars and trucks. Cousin Curtis is in Ken's class and worked pretty close with Andrew and Sam. The highlight of the fieldtrip was catching a frog, Andrew helped catch it and put it in the jar to be taken back to the classroom. Sam was so adorable, taking his job seriously carrying the bucket and clipboard. We will see if he is this studious once he's in school.
The frog was all these boys talked about for a few days, we made regular visits to Daddy's classroom to see him. 4 days later Ken took the boys and the frog back to the lake and released him so he could " see his mommy and daddy and brothers" again.
Just another day adventure with boys! Some other finds were spiders, pelicans, ducks, leaches and a duck nest.

I was subbing in a grade 5 - 6 classroom for a few weeks and we worked on this unit. It's such a cool study, so real no matter where you live. I didn't get to go on the field trip though! How fun for your boys to tag along.
