Field Trip to the Natural History Museum with Butterflies

May 11, 2011
Today I got to go with the 1st grade class on a field trip to the Natural History Museum.  We are so blessed to live very close to the museum, it only takes about 5 minutes to drive there.  We had so much fun exploring the museum.  We saw all kinds of animals, dinosaurs, a rain forest, marshes and the best exhibit of all: The Butterfly Garden. 

 We were the first group in the museum!  So we took advantage and got a picture in front of the dinosaurs in the entry way.  I'm so glad we did, because it was never free again!
 We all loved seeing the dinosaurs, and acting like them!

Ms. D'Avirro's favorite animal is a polar bear, so we had to get a picture with this big guy!

 



















In the butterfly garden there were butterflies everywhere!  Many times a butterfly would land on one of the students, and they would be so excited!  It was fun to watch them with the butterflies on them, trying to stay really still, but wanting to jump up and down. 


That was as close as I got to a butterfly landing on me... but I think I was ok with that!


We had so much fun on our field trip today! 


And we did make sure not to bring home any hitchhiking butterflies!  : )
