On Monday we went on a field trip to the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in Bloomington.
When we arrived we were greeted by staff at the refuge who helped us review everything we have learned about Minnesota animals and habitats.
After lunch we were able to head out and explore the refuge. Students enjoyed using binoculars and telescopes at the lookout point to search for birds.
We also had a chance to go on a hike through the woods.
A highlight of our hike was seeing these two turtles in the wetland area.
Students also had a chance to explore the refuge's awesome indoor facility. Some of the activities included: drawing, working on a puzzle, reading, looking at dioramas, and exploring murals.
When we arrived back at school we had a special visit from Smokey the Bear who brought special treat bags for each student! It was a great day!
