March 2nd was Calissa's 3rd grade field trip to the Lindsay Wildlife Museum. It was a little rainy, but we were inside for most of this fast field trip. I was lucky enough to chaperone. It is an easy trip to chaperone since they are mostly all together and moving around a room in groups.
We started off outside saying hello to the turkey vulture who is just a few months younger than me!
Then, we went inside and went to six different classes all having to do with adaptation and change. This class was about birds and their beaks.
Calissa's beak was a spoon (there were chopsticks, clothespins, etc.) They needed to pick up different kinds of foods (toothpicks, marbles, straws, etc.) They were showing how different bills where adapted to different kinds of food. Calissa's group had a hard time with the toothpicks.
