Fort Worth Nature Center

We got the opportunity to go to the Fort Worth Nature Center today!! Our class had an awesome tour guide, that even had an owl stick (Ms. Lanier loved this)!! We got lucky to get the tour of the prairie dog town! Our class had to be super quite so that we could see the prairie dogs running around. We got to see tracks of deer, and buffalo!! At the end of the tour we again had to be quite so we could see the bob cat, that now lives at the Nature Center because someone had him as a pet and took his claws out! Without his claws, the bobcat would not be able to survive. Inside the Nature Center our class got to see all types of turtles, snakes, beetles, catfish, american alligator and more!! When we were leaving the Nature Center, the students that were riding the bus even got to see BUFFALO! Thank you to all the parents and volunteers that came with us to the Nature Center! I know I really appreciated the help! I hope you enjoy the pictures!

O is for Octopus!!


Friday, September 28, we had cooking class!! We have been learning about animals from A to Z… and we focused on the letter O today in cooking! The students got to observe a hot dog that had been cut into 8 little strips (tentacles) and watched as the hot dog expanded. This expansion made the hot dog look like a O… O... OCTOPUS!! The kids got to enjoy their hotdog/octopus with ketchup and mustard!! The following are pictures from our cooking class!
