🌟 Field Trip Fun at Red Rock State Park! 🌟
Our DDB 1st and 2nd grade class had an amazing time at Red Rock State Park the week before Spring Break! 🦉🐾 Mrs. Rebstein and Ms. Moncibaez’s class explored the park and learned all about animal habitats. This field trip was the perfect hands-on extension of our CKLA Knowledge 8 unit on Animals and Habitats. 🌳
The students were excited to spot different animals and observe how they interacted with their surroundings. We learned about different types of habitats, local to our area, and saw firsthand how animals make their homes in each environment. 🏞️
What a wonderful way to make our classroom learning come to life! Thank you, Red Rock State Park, for giving our students the opportunity to connect with nature in such an engaging way! 🌍
