Olivia recently went with her WINGS class on a field trip to Statesboro. While there, the students got to participate in a lot of fun and educational activities.
The day began with a 6:30 a.m. meet-up time. Like Owen's WINGS trip, this one included a charter bus. Neither Brian nor I could attend, so Gigi filled in as chaperone. By her account, the fieldtrip was a success.
The first stop on the field trip was the Georgia Southern Center for Wildlife Education / Lamar Q. Ball Jr. Raptor Center. While there, the students learned about birds of prey and wildlife native to Georgia. The kids also got to go on a scavenger hunt, see a flight demonstration, and touch some animals.
Each kid had their "wing span" measured. Based on her span, if Olivia were a bird, she would be a snowy owl (her favorite bird).
The kids also visited a planetarium, which was great because Olivia's current science unit is the space unit. It was nice that she could get a visual representation of the things that she is learning about. I don't have any pictures from the planetarium, but it sounded like a lot of fun.
The happy travelers returned mid-afternoon with a stuffed Eagle named "eggy", and many tales of their trip.
