IT WOULDN'T BE A FIELD TRIP UNLESS YOU SAW A SNAKE SLITHERING BY YOU ON A TRAIN RIDE

I'VE BEEN HAPPY TO GO ON THE FIELD TRIP TO SOUTHWICK FOR MANY YEARS. EVERY YEAR WE GO ON THE TRAIN RIDE, AND EVERY YEAR WE GO BY A POND AND SWAMPY AREA. EACH TIME I GO ON THE TRAIN RIDE I SEE SOME SORT OF SNAKE SLITHERING BY. THIS YEAR WAS NO EXCEPTION. I WISH I HAD A PICTURE BUT I WILL TELL YOU IT WAS BLACK AND ORANGE. I THINK IT JUST KNEW WE WERE COMING!!! WE ALSO HAD CANADIAN GEESE BLOCKING THE TRAIN AS WELL AS AN ANIMAL THAT LOOKED LIKE A MOOSE ONLY A BIT SMALLER. WE HAD A FANTASTIC TRIP. ALL OF THE KIDS WERE VERY WELL BEHAVED AND ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. THE WEATHER COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BETTER!  HERE ARE SOME PICS FROM THE TRIP. I WILL POST MORE ONCE MY NEW PHONE (IT'S MY HUBBY'S OLD ONE)  IS UP AND RUNNING. THANK YOU TO OUR CHAPERONES FOR PROVIDING US WITH THESE PICTURES!

Field Trip Information

Here is a list of what kids should bring on Friday to Southwick Zoo:

1. a big smile and be ready for fun and to be good listeners

2. a brown paper bag lunch that can be thrown away later

3. extra water (a disposable plastic water bottle would work best)

4. sunscreen applied before coming to school

5. four quarters to feed the animals (OPTIONAL)

6. wear comfortable clothes and sneakers - It's going to be warm!


We are leaving early so please be on time for school!
