Field Trip to the zoo
I had the unique experience of joining my daughter and her class in visiting the St. Louis Zoo. Unique in that, 3rd graders have the knowledge to ask intelligent questions, but have no idea how one off from reality they are in getting a real answer:
3rd grader - "Do you have scientist here?"
Guide - "Yes, we have smart people that take care of the animals."
3rd grader - "Dinosaurs are not smart, they had small brains."
Guide - "Well, yes, they were not survivors..."
3rd grader - "Do your scientists try to bring back animals using DNA?"
Guide - "No, I'm afraid not."
Then, there was the ray of sunshine that knew every trivial fact of nearly every animal. We also had "I have a compass, and west is this way." They were great though. I had a fantastic time. Took some of the best animal pics this time too!
