Ms. Keane's Week: Toca da Raposa and Band

Toca da Raposa:

What an amazing field trip!! We got to see so many plants and animals. So much learning and fun was packed into one day.

First we got breakfast when we arrived, then headed to the jungle gym to learn about what animals eat and the "circle of life." The students loved the bridge and ropes course. 

Next we went to check out all the animals. We definitely learned a lot, like the different feet of birds and what each type uses them for: swimming, running, and grabbing. As we continued to look at more animals we learned that the animals at Toca da Raposa are kept there because they can't survive in the wild. 

Then we went on a nature hike and learned about ant hills, the oldest tree, and other interesting plants. We were lucky enough to see a rare lizard. 

Finally we learned about animal foot prints and got to make them to take home. As part of making them was with flour we got to go down the flour slide. 

Our field trip was amazing filled with learning and fun. If you can go take a trip to check it out.

Band Concert

We had the lucky opportunity to watch the band before their competition. We not only loistened to songs like ones from Beauty and the Beast, but we also learned about the instruments. Such a lovely concert.
