I coordinated that our school would experience the Edu-Trek: Eurasian Safari. It was such a fabulous experience learning about extra facts of the animals and their habitats that you would not normally get to learn on a self-guided tour. While on our Edu-Trek we also were fortunate enough to take in the Tiger Training session and experience the penguins getting fed. It was also amazing that with the exception of the hippopotamuses, we were able to see EVERY animal we visited. I thought that was exceptional, because often when visiting a zoo, some of the animals are hiding or in positions in their sanctuaries that is not visible to the public.
To compliment our social studies and science curriculum this year, the kindergarten teacher and myself took our classes to the Calgary Zoo for our year end field trip. We had such a blast! The long bus ride to and from the zoo provided us time have fun together singing songs and reminiscing over over our activities of the past year.

What a better way to end off the year than with a camping themed unit! As the teaching year winds up and all my final assignments are finished that are report card worthy, I thought I'd end my year with some camping. With the help of a good friend, I transformed my classroom into a campsite in the woods!
I found some great ideas from Pintrest, and awesome teaching ideas from Teachers Pay Teachers. I've taken bits and pieces from each to teach in my classroom.
