Our trip to the aquarium was a HUGE success!!! The boys and girls had an incredible time observing all of the creatures we have been studying throughout our ocean unit. Thank you so very much to all of our wonderful moms and dads who attended the trip with us, Mr. Tegene, Mrs. Bayon, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Bennison, Mr. Larsen, Mr. Harwell, Mrs. VanSpanje, Mrs. Vanacour, and Mrs. Rajendran. Your help is greatly appreciated and makes trips such as these possible!
