Choosing an IVC Fieldtrip

The most important thing for me in choosing a trip is to find one that is free. I found a provider when we did the thing in the summer that seemed perfect and I just now rediscovered it. The Lee Richardson Zoo. All programs are free and targeted at the elementary level. They even list for pre-k and Kindergarten. Which is perfect for me. I have just e-mailed Jay and asked him what I need to do next to get a PIN and get going on this. I see that this Lee Richardson Zoo has a number of great programs and seeing as how my school is closing at the end of the year I think that I would like to try and schedule one for each week until the end. I will ask that the first graders come in as well to make it a very worthwhile experience. I also think that by having the first graders there asking more in depth questions that they kindergarteners will be able to take more out of the class. I am excited again about bringing this to my kids.I hope that it can work out. I will have to pre-teach some stuff so they know what they are seeing but it should not be too hard to do. My kindergartners are starting to really get it.
