1st grade music performance & zoo field trip

The 1st graders at Kaylin’s school put on a music performance…back in April. One of the songs they sang was called Lucy Locket Lost Her Pocket, and Kaylin was “Lucy” for the purpose of the song. Basically, she skipped across the stage with a coin purse, dropped it on the ground, another girl came behind her and “found” it and gave it back to her. I don’t know that it was even 2 minutes long, and the picture of her skipping across the stage is a blur of red. So, here is a picture I do have, where you can actually see Kaylin. She’s the one in the red shirt, on the left hand side.

And a few weeks later, the 1st graders took their field trip. This year, it was to the Fort Worth Zoo, and I was one of the parent volunteers.

This trip was a lot more fun than our normal trips to the zoo, as they had an educational presentation before we walked around the zoo.

A baby alligator – they explained the differences between alligators and crocodiles, what they eat, etc. With each animal that was brought out a child was selected from the group and they got to sit behind that curtain and ask yes or no questions to try and guess the animal.

An Opossum. We were told that there are possums and Opossums, the differences and that possums live in Australia, etc.
