4th grade field trip

Did you know Murry had a Nature Center? A place in the middle of the city you can go for a walk and look for birds and wild animals? I had no idea.

This past week was D5's first field trip. I can't say it was fun but it was interesting.

The kids learned all about animals, how they protect themselves, what and how they eat and stuff like that. They also went on a little walk on the trails. It was actually really pretty.



The interesting part came when, (are you ready for this?) they dissected Owl Pellets. I learned that the pellets are not poop, the owls actually bring them back up through their mouths. (I am sorry if you are eating lunch!) The kids had to break open the pellets and look for mice and rat bones. It was kind of neat to see and kind of icky too. (some of them had maggots, luckily not D5's)
