Our Field Trip to Umstead State Park

Today the first graders took a field trip to explore the woods of Umstead State Park. They went on a hike, played games, explore dirt and soil, and befriended a tree! Here's what they have to say about their experience:

The soil was kind of like clay.

We touched the worms.

This was my first time riding a bus.

We played Bat and Moth.

We played a game called Fire.

The worms looked like they were dead... but they weren't!

We explored part of the woods.

We used our "deer ears" to listen to nature.

OUR FIELD TRIP WAS AWESOME!!!!!!
