Riley's class went on a safari today. They visited the savannah, the rain forest, the ocean and the desert. The kids all made their own jeeps, well I think some dad's made the jeeps, and they had binoculars made out of empty toilet paper rolls and of course they had to have safari hats.
They all walked from the school to the park next door where the parent volunteers had set up each "region" with stuffed animals that the kids had brought in. I was the customs agent in the savannah stamping the kids passports and telling them "welcome to the savannah". Then the kids got a clipboard and had to check off the animals they saw and whether they were a mammal, bird, insect or reptile, etc.

That looks like so much fun! What a great unit to study. Riley must have had fun making (and driving!) here Jeep. I love the photos of them "driving" into the park! I love capturing the creative things they do! SHe'll be glad for the photos when she's older too!
Now I can see why you say your children are in a great school system. What a NEAT idea! Love the photos!
